Vereley Loriel Banks, 60, vanished from Newport News, Virginia after leaving the Hilton Plaza Assisted Living Facility on June 8, 2011. She was seen walking south on Jefferson Avenue that day and again the next morning, June 9, around 6:00 a.m., at 18th Street and Roanoke Avenue. Staff tried twice to persuade her to return but were unsuccessful.

Banks is described as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, between 4 feet 11 inches and 5 feet 2 inches tall. Reports differ on what she wore: one account says a blue sweat suit, another mentions a black shirt and black and white pants. She had mental health disorders and required medication. Several unconfirmed sightings were reported along Warwick Boulevard near Christopher Newport University, but none were verified.

Her case is open with the Newport News Police Department and entered into NamUs. Does anyone have information about Vereley’s movements in June 2011 or recall seeing her in the Warwick Boulevard–CNU area?
