Nancy Bunly, 31, was last seen in the late hours of September 22, 2024, in Lexington, North Carolina. Family members say she was a homebody and a devoted mother to an infant daughter. She reportedly left the Druid Hills Drive residence after an argument with her live-in boyfriend, Ricky Lam, in his black 2017 Honda Pilot and did not return. Nancy’s family reported her missing to the Lexington Police Department on September 23, 2024.

Investigators found her cell phone near Abbott’s Creek, which became a focus of intensive ground, aerial, and water searches across Lexington and the Piedmont Triad. Detectives processed interviews and analyzed physical and digital evidence early in the inquiry, and law enforcement identified reason to believe Nancy may have been harmed. The investigation named Lam as a person of interest and later produced criminal charges; Nancy herself has not been located.

If anyone saw Nancy on September 22 near Druid Hills Drive, Abbott’s Creek, or driving in a 2017 black Honda Pilot, please contact local investigators with any information.
