Disappearance of Leah Roberts

Roberts had left Durham unexpectedly, leaving only rent money and a note for her housemate suggesting she might return in a few weeks. She said she wanted to take a road trip like that of author Jack Kerouac, whose work she admired. Over the previous decade she had experienced the deaths of both parents and a car accident that almost took her own life. She dropped out of North Carolina State University a semester short of graduation. Her older siblings recall that she seemed lost and directionless at that point in her life.
Roberts's disappearance has been covered on the television shows ''Unsolved Mysteries'' and ''Disappeared'', but few leads have emerged. In the summer of 2005, volunteers from a North Carolina missing-persons awareness group organized a caravan across the country to raise awareness for her case and others. The caravan has since become an annual event. Provided by Wikipedia
