On the night of December 3rd, 2022, 27-year-old Gretchen Fleming left My Way, a popular bar in Parkersburg, West Virginia with a much older man she had never met before that night. She has never been seen since. The man’s home was searched. The surrounding area was canvassed. But Gretchen has never been found and the police have never made an arrest in the case. The man has never been named as a suspect, only a person of interest. He will no longer speak to authorities. Gretchen’s family still holds out hope for her safe return. At the very least, they just want justice for her. And closure.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Parkersburg Police Department at 304-424-8444. Anonymous tips can be left online at https://ppd.parkersburgwv.gov/

The Salem Witch Trials that took place in the late 1600’s feels like an urban legend to some, however the panic and mass hysteria was real. More than 100 people were accused of witchcraft and sorcery, with at least 20 people being executed without any real evidence against them. Unfortunately, these unsubstantiated claims that led to executions were only the beginning of hate crimes that still exist in our world today.

A woman with dark, curly hair stands in a kitchen. Streamers hang from the ceiling, and a helpful party guest is at the sink getting some dishes out of the way for the party host. The host, Brenda Lambert, stands off center in the photo in a bright yellow t shirt. (Photo will be posted on the blog.) Unmissable because of the color but the thing that draws the eye to her is the look on her face. The expression is hard to read, it could be sadness or worry, but it is definitely not the broad smile you would expect to see in a photo from a one year old's birthday party, especially not from his proud and doting mother. The photo is one of the last taken before Brenda Lambert disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again.

When Brenda went missing, she was 22 years old. Today she would be 54, however Christy believes that Brenda was murdered and will not be found alive. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5’2” and 110 pounds with black, curly, shoulder length hair and dark blue eyes. Brenda is of Caucasian decent.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Brenda Lambert, or information about what happened the night she disappeared, should contact the Mercer County Sheriff at (304) 487-8364.
