Summary
On the morning of September 20, 2001, 33-year-old Angela Whalen Hudson walked her two children to the bus stop in Pelham, North Carolina. When her children returned home that day, Angela wasn’t home and they were told by their stepfather that she had said she had to go “do something” and just walked off. Angela never returned and was never seen again.
In the months leading up to Angela's disappearance, her marriage had broken down and Angela had started to move forward with a divorce. Angela had gotten a restraining order against her husband just a month before she went missing.
Even though there was a history of abuse in her marriage, since there was never any evidence of a crime, not much has been done by law enforcement to find Angela.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Angela Whalen Hudson, please call the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office at (336) 634-3232.
Currently, there is a $1000 dollar reward from Crime Stoppers for any information leading to an arrest. You can reach Crime Stoppers at 336 349-9683.
There is also another $1000 dollars which has been personally donated to the cause. This reward is for any information leading to Angela's whereabouts.
Angela’s family has a Facebook page for her and that’s called Bring Angie Home. They also have an email if you’d like to submit a tip, that is [email protected].
The episode was co-researched and written by Marissa Jones and Anna Priestland.
