Nanci Leigh Britner, 45, vanished from Winchester, Virginia in late June 2023 after visiting family at the Relax Inn. On June 28 she brought food to her sister, spent time with her daughter who lived in the same building, and around 11 p.m. began calling for a ride to her North Kent Street residence. Her sister went to sleep and woke to find Nanci gone; that was the last confirmed in-person sighting.

Just after midnight on June 29 Nanci spoke with her fiancé, texted a niece asking for a ride, and was said to be eager to get home for a planned visit with her son and grandchildren the next day. Both of her prepaid cell phones were later turned off; one was tracked to a location in Frederick County before losing power. She was last seen wearing a black sleeveless tank top, denim shorts, black and gold sandals, and carrying a purple tagalong suitcase. Distinctive tattoos include a large black cross on her left shoulder and ink on her neck, feet, and forearm.

Authorities searched multiple locations, including homeless camps with cadaver dogs, and followed more than a hundred leads. Her family describes her as a homebody and believes she may have accepted a ride from someone she knew. Does anyone have information about Nanci’s movements that night or who may have driven in that area after midnight?
