Regenia Gail Hendrix, 51, was last seen in Asheville, North Carolina, with official records listing April 3, 2014 as her date of last contact. She has blonde hair, blue eyes and tattoos reading LOVE on her upper right arm and REBEL on her right leg. At the time she was staying with an acquaintance at the Bartlett Arms Apartments and reportedly planned a move to Shelby, North Carolina.

The last person known to have seen Regenia was a man named Clarence Octetree, who said he had taken her to look at a mobile home in Shelby and drove her back to Asheville when she didn’t like it. Regenia’s mother questioned that account, and a disability check that was her only income was never cashed. Regenia was not reported missing to the Asheville Police Department until September 22, 2014, more than five months after her last contact, which complicated the investigation.

Police interviewed Octetree in connection with Regenia’s disappearance but did not find sufficient evidence to charge him. He is also connected to another unresolved disappearance: his wife, Alma Octetree, went missing from Asheville two years earlier and remains unfound. Regenia’s family continues to seek answers; does anyone with information about Regenia’s movements in April 2014 or her time at Bartlett Arms have details to share?
