## Resource

Twenty years after she vanished on a July morning while dropping off her kids at daycare, Melanie Metheny’s family still waits for answers. Her aunt Catherine Moles shares the heartbreak of missing every birthday, holiday, and milestone — including the birth of her grandchild — as the youngest child likely only knows her through stories. Last seen in Belle, Metheny’s car was found four days later in Charleston, but despite decades of investigation and countless tips, her fate remains a mystery. Moles, who remembers her as a devoted mother who would never abandon her children, finds strength in faith, holding onto hope that justice will one day come. The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office confirms the case is still open and urges anyone with information to come forward.
