Sharon Ivy Jones was 33 when she disappeared after a night out in Norfolk, Virginia. On the evening of Saturday, September 21, 2002, she attended a wedding and later a dance party. Around 3:00 a.m. on September 22 she left the party in her red Toyota Tercel and was last seen driving westbound on Interstate 64 from Chesapeake Boulevard; she had told friends she might stop at a Taco Bell but it is unknown if she did.

Her car was later found parked in its assigned space in front of her Breezy Point Apartments unit on Glenn Myrtle Avenue, and her apartment door was unlocked. Investigators reported a disturbance inside: broken items, both telephone cords pulled from the walls, and the black spaghetti strap top and black pants she had worn that night were inside the apartment. Her purse and other personal belongings were not taken, and there has been no activity on her bank accounts since she vanished.

Sharon was a teacher’s assistant at Lynnhaven Elementary School and a student at Norfolk State University. She left behind a two-year-old daughter who was subsequently raised by Sharon’s parents; Sharon’s younger sister, who helped search for her, died in 2003. Does anyone who lived near Breezy Point Apartments in September 2002 or who remembers Sharon’s car that night have information to share?
