Vickie Ellington, a 53-year-old businesswoman from Kosciusko, Mississippi, disappeared on January 27, 2011. She told friends by text she was heading to meet someone in nearby Louisville, about an hour away. Her Chevrolet Suburban was later located in the Walmart parking lot in Louisville with her purse inside. Walmart surveillance captured Ellington parking, walking toward a McDonald’s and Taco Bell, then leaving the camera’s range — the last confirmed sighting.

Vickie owned a gym, served as guardian to her 8-year-old grandson, and was well known in her community. Investigators reviewed surveillance footage and searched around her home, but no significant leads emerged and the case remains unsolved. Anyone who knew Vickie, saw her in Louisville that day, or has information about her movements after she left the cameras is asked to contact the Attala County Sheriff’s Department.
