Venus Shawn Rose, 32, was last seen in High Point, North Carolina, on May 19, 2008. She is described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 110 to 140 pounds. Her mother reported her missing on December 29, 2008, a gap that has complicated the investigation and yielded few leads for years.

In February 2021 the case was reclassified after new information led investigators to conclude Venus was likely the victim of foul play; the High Point Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit is handling the inquiry and state officials became involved. The Governor announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Tips can be submitted to the High Point Police Department, Crime Stoppers of High Point, or the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

Does anyone in the High Point area remember Venus or her movements around May 2008?
