Teresa Darlene McCullen was 48 when she vanished from her Goldsboro, North Carolina, home on Old Grantham Road on September 13, 2010. Her husband left for a friend’s funeral that day and returned about 4:30 p.m. to find her gone. At the time she was last seen wearing a white blouse and red pants, and either tennis shoes or rainbow-colored flip-flops.

Teresa is described as Native American, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 130 pounds, with brown (auburn-colored) hair, brown eyes, freckles, a scar on the right side of her chin, and a hip scar from surgery for a rod in her leg. She had a driver’s license but no access to a vehicle. Family noted a history of alcohol and drug problems and of leaving home without telling anyone, but prior absences had always ended with contact; this time she did not return and days became weeks with no word.

Investigators have kept the case open for more than a decade with few leads. Authorities have suggested she might frequent areas known for drug activity, including the Carolina Street area of Goldsboro, but no concrete evidence has emerged to explain what happened after she left that afternoon.

If anyone knew Teresa, saw her around Goldsboro in September 2010, or has information about her possible movements near Carolina Street, please share what is known.
