Paula Wayne Jones, 40, was last seen on May 23, 2012, when her mother dropped her off on Patterson Avenue SW in Roanoke, Virginia. That was the last confirmed sighting; nothing further is known about her whereabouts. At the time she disappeared Paula was described as 5 feet 7 inches, about 165 pounds, with red hair and green eyes. She was reportedly wearing a white tank top under a black one and jeans, and had distinctive tattoos: a butterfly on her hip and a heart on her upper left arm.

A missing persons report was filed with the Roanoke Police Department and the investigation remains open. Very few details about her movements that day have been made public, and law enforcement has periodically sought the public’s help in generating new leads. If anyone saw Paula on or after May 23, 2012, or has information about where she might be, please contact the Roanoke Police Department. Who remembers Paula that day or has any information about her last known movements?
