In May 2008, Sally Rohrbock, a 45-year-old professional, left her home in Angier, North Carolina.

Angier is a suburb of Raleigh Durham. It has a population of just over 5,000 people.

It's in an area called Black River Township.

She traveled to Charlotte on a business trip.

For the first few days of her trip, it was pretty much business as usual.

And then, Sally seemed to disappear without a trace.

Sally was petite. She was 5'2", with blonde hair and brown eyes.

She had been married to her husband Tim Rohrbock for 20 years.

The couple had been together since college.

The couple never had children, but Sally loved her cats.

She also loved her job, working for the North Carolina Department of Insurance.

Sally was a field examiner, which basically meant that she investigated people

and companies. Now, all of her co-workers said that Sally was an exceptional employee.

She was super dependable and amazing at her job.

Sally had two phones. She had one for personal use, and the other one was her work phone.

It was issued to her by the state of North Carolina.

Her colleagues started to realize that no one had talked to Sally in a couple of days.

They all agreed. This just was not like her.

She'd also miss get-togethers with friends on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

And she failed to show up for an appointment on Thursday morning.

So, Sally's company contacted one of her colleagues in the Charlotte area.

This guy called everyone he could think of who knew Sally.
