Virginia Wood was 19 and a freshman studying accounting at Appalachian State University when she vanished in March 2007 while on spring break in Brownsville, Texas. Originally from Chocowinity, North Carolina, she drove about 1,400 miles in a black 2003 Nissan Sentra, North Carolina plate TTZ-6801, to visit high school friend Kelly Gaskins. Wood took her social security card and a copy of her birth certificate for a planned trip to Mexico with Gaskins.

Wood spoke with her mother twice after arriving and called a friend on March 10, 2007, saying she and Gaskins planned to travel to Cancun; that call is the last known contact. Attempts after that went to voicemail and her mother reported her missing on March 19 when she failed to return to classes. Wood disappeared along with Gaskins and Gaskins’s boyfriend, Ervin Braxton Williams, neither of whom has been located; Williams had outstanding warrants at the time. The Sentra has never been found.

If anyone knew Virginia, Kelly Gaskins, Ervin Braxton Williams, or saw a black 2003 Nissan Sentra with plate TTZ-6801 in March 2007, please share what you remember.
