Virginia State Police, the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office, and South Boston Police are still searching for a missing Halifax County woman 14 years after she was reported missing. Authorities are still asking members of the community to come forward with any information they may have.

Hattie Gertrude Brown went missing on May 16, 2009 after being seen at a gas station with her nephew outside South Boston. It was approximately 2:30 am at the Sheetz gas station at the intersection of Route 501 and Route 58, outside South Boston, where she was last seen.

A video camera captured Brown, her nephew and her silver 2003 Volkswagen Jetta at the gas station. Her car was discovered months later in July 2009. The Volkswagen Jetta had been set fire and abandoned behind an old barn on property in the southeastern corner of Halifax County.
