Alyssa Nicole Taylor, 25, was last heard from by family on September 13, 2022, when she sent a text saying she was joining a friend, Danny McNeal, for a two‑day trip in his tractor‑trailer to North Carolina. Her family reported her missing to the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office on September 20, 2022. At the time she disappeared from Exmore, Virginia, Alyssa was described as a white female with brown hair and green eyes, 5 feet 5 inches tall and about 200 pounds, and a mother of two young sons.
In the early hours of September 14, 2022, McNeal’s tractor‑trailer crashed on Interstate 85 in Orange County, North Carolina; the truck burned, and McNeal and his dog were found dead. North Carolina authorities say they found no evidence Alyssa was in the truck, though her family disputes that finding. Cell phone data placed Alyssa’s phone near the crash site about an hour before the wreck, and her family identified her voice on body camera footage from an encounter with McNeal’s truck earlier that evening.
The missing person investigation is handled by the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office while the crash investigation is with the North Carolina Highway Patrol. Has anyone seen Alyssa or have information that could help clarify her last movements on September 13–14, 2022?
