Virginia Sue Pictou Noyes was 26 and a mother of five when she disappeared after being treated at Eastern Maine Medical Center following an assault in Bangor. She had several distinctive marks: a Playboy bunny tattoo on her left shoulder, the name Larry tattooed on her right ankle, a small cross between her right thumb and forefinger, a V-shaped scar on her right forearm, and scar tissue on her left elbow.

Maine State Police say the group became extremely intoxicated that day, and that her husband, Larry Noyes, assaulted her; he was arrested and reportedly his brother Roger Noyes Jr. received a court summons in connection with the incident. Virginia told hospital staff she needed to get home to her children and left before her checkup was finished.

Her family and community, including the Aroostook Band of Micmacs where she grew up, have continued to seek answers. What happened after she left the hospital, who saw or spoke with her at the Houlton truck stop, and how she planned to travel home remain unknown. If anyone has information about Virginia or her movements that day, please contact the Major Crimes Unit at 207-973-3750, 1-800-432-7381, or text MESPTIP to 847411.
