Felicia Lisa Weaver was 52 and in advanced stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease when she disappeared from her Hayden, Alabama, home on February 5, 2015. She required bottled oxygen and could only walk short distances; she had been living with her ex-husband and two sons on Jack Cole Road and family members provided her constant care. One son saw her in bed that morning and exchanged a final text with her at 2:37 p.m. that afternoon. Just over twenty minutes later the family home was discovered on fire.

Firefighters, the State Fire Marshal, cadaver dogs and a helicopter searched the charred property. The family’s three dogs were found dead in the rubble, but no trace of Felicia was located. Her car remained at the residence. Investigators found no evidence of accelerants and noted her medical oxygen could have contributed to the blaze, but the cause remains undetermined. The Blount County Sheriff’s Office treats the case as suspicious and active. If anyone knew Felicia, her movements that afternoon, or saw anything near Jack Cole Road on February 5, 2015, please come forward with information.
