Melinda Lorraine Felder, known to family as Kandie, was 33 when she left her Conway, South Carolina, home on July 20, 2006, saying she was going to visit a friend and would return. She never came back and that day remains the last confirmed sighting. Melinda was born March 12, 1973, in Brooklyn, New York, and was a mother to several children and now has five grandchildren she never met.

Melinda lived with a serious seizure disorder that could be triggered by stress or heat and could leave her disoriented or childlike, which raised concern she might have suffered an episode and ended up hospitalized or in care as an unidentified person. She had no driver’s license or car and relied on public transportation.

Few confirmed leads have appeared since 2006, and her children continue to seek answers. If anyone knew Melinda, her routines, or saw her around Conway or Brooklyn in mid 2006, what can be shared to help her family?
