Judith Deavers Hyder, 53, was last seen in Garland, North Carolina on December 7, 2015. Described as having short dark hair and hazel eyes, she was living with friends and making plans to move into her own apartment and had been buying Christmas gifts.

She was reported missing on December 9, 2015. Judith’s gray Pontiac G6 was found December 10 parked behind some bushes not far from her home. A ground search by the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Management turned up no sign of her. She was diabetic and reportedly did not have her medication with her; there was also concern she may have been suffering from depression. Law enforcement later treated the case as a homicide and the investigation remains open; a reward of up to $5,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone in the Garland area remember Judith or have information about her movements on or after December 7, 2015?
