Summary

29-year-old Lelia Faulkner disappeared from her yard in Troy, Alabama on the evening of July 4th, 2016. When she vanished, all of her digital footprints stopped. No one has come forward to say that they saw Lelia that night. Did someone pick her up at the house and it went unnoticed or did she walk away from her home? Just leaving would have been out of character for Lelia who is the mother of an 8-year-old daughter and known to be very active on social media. If you have any information about Lelia's disappearance, you can call the Pike County Sheriff's Office at 334-566-4347. Her case manager for Halos Investigations, Barbara Hastings can be reached at 662-664-3057. You can also call the Halos tip line and remain anonymous 803-599-4256. There is a currently a $7,500 reward for information. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
