April Michele Reid, 36, was last confirmed in mid to late February 2021 while living in Lenoir, North Carolina. She was seen on ATM surveillance in Hickory on February 15 and used her food stamp card there on February 25; family members last spoke with her around the end of February. April had mobility and speech impairments from a car accident a year earlier and used a cane.

Her family reported her missing on March 20, 2021, after weeks without contact. When relatives checked her apartment they found her purse, phone and most clothing still inside, with nothing obviously disturbed. Investigators were unable to track her cell after service was disconnected. Authorities say they believe criminal activity contributed to her disappearance, and the case note that she had been in contact with a man who had prior serious felony charges, including kidnapping and assault with intent to kill. A reward of up to $1,000 has been offered for information.

April is described as a white female with blonde hair that she sometimes dyed blue or green, green eyes, and several tattoos, including a heart with barbed wire on her left ankle and a butterfly on her right leg. Does anyone have information about April’s movements or contacts from February 2021 that could help locate her?
