Bonnie Santiago, 56, was last seen in the early morning hours of July 12, 2014. A resident of Brands Flat in Augusta County, she had been at her boyfriend’s home near Carter Mountain Orchard in Albemarle County and reportedly left after an argument; she was never seen or heard from again. Santiago was a mother of seven and worked as a housekeeper.

A few days after her disappearance, her van was located. Investigators found signs of a violent struggle: the rear-view mirror was nearly torn from its mounting, there was blood believed to be Santiago’s, and footprints were visible on the inside of the windshield. Her cell phone, eyeglasses and heart medication were left inside the vehicle, and the case was treated as a presumed abduction and homicide.

Her boyfriend was questioned early on and later ruled out as a suspect. In 2016 authorities executed a search warrant and drained a septic tank in Augusta County but did not recover her remains. The investigation has produced leads over the years but no public resolution to date.

Did anyone in the area around July 12, 2014 notice unusual activity near Carter Mountain Orchard or the Brands Flat area?
