Cathy Huffman was 19 when she was reported missing from Franklin, West Virginia, on November 4, 1985. Her disappearance coincided with catastrophic flooding across the state on November 4–5, which caused widespread devastation in Pendleton County and hampered search and rescue efforts in and around Franklin.

The storm system produced record water levels and massive damage that complicated locating missing people; despite extensive searches and investigations, Cathy Huffman remains missing and her case is listed among West Virginia’s unsolved missing persons. The passage of time has not closed the book on her disappearance.

If anyone remembers Cathy, her whereabouts in early November 1985, or has information that could help, please share what is known or contact the appropriate authorities.
