Virginia L. She is described as White, with gray hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 4 inches and 130 pounds, and her case is classified as endangered missing. Reports indicate she may have been experiencing mental health challenges at the time she vanished.

Her disappearance emerged amid a larger investigation tied to her husband, Danny Austin. Austin’s van was found abandoned on private property in Bates County in March 2024 and towed in April. Forensic teams later searched the same property and skeletal remains recovered in November 2024 were publicly reported as believed to be Austin’s. Deputies also executed a search warrant at a Hume residence linked to Ashley Renee Mays, also identified as Ashley Renee Mays Becerra, who investigators thought might have information.

What is not established in the public timeline is what happened to Virginia after March 1, 2024, and where she might be now. If anyone saw Virginia, knew her routines, or has information about her whereabouts after March 1, please come forward.
