Leslie Jo Grissom was 19 when she was last seen walking away from her boyfriend’s home in Kittrell, Vance County, North Carolina, on the evening of July 8, 2007. At the time she was reported missing she was described as white, about 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 105 pounds, with blond or strawberry-colored hair and blue eyes. She was believed to be wearing blue jeans, a red jacket, and white sneakers.

Her disappearance was reported to the Vance County Sheriff’s Office and the case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The circumstances of why she walked away and where she went remain unclear, and investigators say there is limited information about her movements or anyone she may have encountered after leaving that residence. Her family and online advocates have continued to share her information to keep the case visible.

Does anyone in the Kittrell area remember seeing Leslie on or after July 8, 2007, or have information about where she might have been headed that night?
