- Details of Disappearance:
- In September 2015, a woman named Patterson went missing. Her son reported her missing after a month of not hearing from her—they talked daily. She was last seen in Gastonia, North Carolina, near US 321 South.
Patterson had a long history of crack cocaine addiction and legal trouble. After her boyfriend died in 2014, she became homeless. Despite this, she stayed in close contact with her son and daughter-in-law in South Carolina.
They invited her to live with them in the summer of 2015, and she said a man named Chris would drive her. Her son got a missed call from her shortly after, but didn’t return it. Weeks later, realizing something was wrong, he tried calling her repeatedly, but only got voicemail.
Both her son and the police think drugs played a role in her disappearance. The son suspects a relative who disliked Patterson might know something; this relative was asked to take a lie detector test.
Patterson’s disappearance remains a mystery.
