Hope Renee Curry was 23 when she disappeared from Virginia Beach on the evening of November 11, 2000. She left her brother’s home on Bancroft Drive about 9:30 p.m. after receiving a page, saying she would walk to a nearby Texaco at Rosemont and Holland Roads to use a payphone and call a friend to invite them over for pizza. She never returned and was not seen or heard from again.

At the time she vanished Hope was described as a white female, brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall. She wore a green sweater with a white and black argyle pattern, black jeans and blue and white platform sneakers. She had several pieces of jewelry including a gold necklace with a #1 MOM pendant and a silver ring with a pink stone.

Hope was a young mother; her nine-month-old daughter was in foster care at the time and family members say Hope had been working to regain custody. The Virginia Beach Police Department investigated; the case produced no crime scene or physical evidence. Detectives followed a tip in 2015 but it did not produce new leads. Anyone who knew Hope, saw her that night, or has information about her whereabouts is asked to come forward.
