Vaneva Horton Crawford, 45, was last seen by family in Hinesville, Georgia, on a summer evening when she was dropped off near a friend’s home on South Main Street, beside the DEP mobile home park. Family members planned to pick her up later that night but were told she had already left with another friend. The identity of that friend is not known from available details.

At the time she disappeared Vaneva was described as Black / African American, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a red, white, and blue tank top and brown capri pants. The Hinesville Police Department received the initial missing person report and the investigation remains open, though few public developments are described.

The circumstances of her departure from the friend’s residence and who she left with are the central unanswered questions. If anyone knew Vaneva, saw her that night, or has information about the friend she reportedly left with, please come forward.
