Gretchen Fleming Missing West Virginia

Name: Gretchen Fleming
Age: 27 years old

Location: Parkersburg, West Virginia
Status: Still Missing

Case Information

27-year-old Gretchen Fleming was last seen in Parkersburg, West Virginia on December 3, 2022. She disappeared after leaving a local bar with an older man.

Background

Gretchen Fleming was born on December 22, 1994, in West Virginia. She studied Political Science at William Peace University and Shaw University in North Carolina.

At the time of her disappearance, Fleming was living with her grandmother in Vienna, a small town of about 35,000 in West Virginia. She worked at an H&M store in the Grand Central Mall.

Fleming had recently returned home from North Carolina where she went to college and lived for a few years. Described as independent and creative, she was passionate about music, travel, and writing.

Disappearance

On the night of December 3, 2022, Gretchen Fleming spent the night out with a friend at multiple bars and restaurants in Parkersburg, West Virginia.

After visiting the Front Row Bar, Gretchen went to My Way Lounge & Restaurants, a tavern located at 501 Juliana Street.

At 3:00 am on December 4, Gretchen was last seen on surveillance camera leaving the My Way Lounge with an older man and heading toward his car, a Black Nissan Rogue 1 Sport SUV. The video did not capture the pair getting into his car, due to it’s location.

Gretchen never returned home and hasn’t been heard from since.

On December 12, 2022, her family filed a missing person’s report with the Parkersburg Police Department after being unable to get in touch with her.

Investigation

Gretchen Fleming left her phone and purse behind at The Front Row, another tavern she visited earlier that night, located at 4000 Emerson Avenue in Parkersburg, West Virginia.

When questioned by authorities, the man Gretchen was seen leaving with said he gave her a ride, but that she departed at an unknown location. There is no indication that they knew each other before that night.

Surveillance footage from various cameras captured the man’s car traveling from the bar toward his home, about two miles away.

Police believe Gretchen left with the man and traveled back to his residence. By his own admission she was in his car that evening, though he says she didn’t make it to his house.

Authorities have since executed search warrants on his house, car, and electronic devices. The man, whose identity has not been publicly released, is currently considered a person of interest in Gretchen’s disappearance.

Whereabouts

Foul play is suspected in Gretchen Fleming’s disappearance. A $7,500 reward is being offered by her family for substantial information leading to the current physical location and return of Gretchen.

A separate reward of $7,500 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved.

The circumstances of Gretchen Fleming’s disappearance remain unclear and her case is currently classified as missing. Her case remains unsolved.

    At what stage did her friend leave her , whose sedan did they use to go between the various lounges , was the older man already at the lounge when they arrived , or was he also at the other lounges that they were at ?.
    Why did her family only report her missing after nine days , was she free – spirited ,and did things on the spur of the moment ? .
    If the distance between the man s home and the lounge was only two miles , why was the area unknown ? . What area of the parking – lot was lit up , and was there any camera ‘ s inside any of the lounges ? . How long had she known her friend , or more of a colleague from work ? .
    If there is no description , as stated of what she was wearing was anybody else interviewed at all . ? .
    Did she have a favorite place that she liked to go to for alone – time ? .
