In the quiet community of Chesterfield, Virginia, a family's life was forever altered on March 12, 2015. On that day, 23-year-old Male Lee Snellings, known to his loved ones as Lee, vanished. His mother had dropped him off in a remote area in the 2500 block of Coalboro Road, where he had plans to ride ATVs with friends. Lee, a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, stood at 6 feet tall and weighed around 145 pounds. He was last seen with his yellow 2005 Vento scooter, which had a Virginia license plate number of 6911P. This seemingly ordinary day marked the beginning of a prolonged and painful period of uncertainty for his family, as Lee was never heard from again.
The days turned into weeks with no word from Lee. Living with his parents in the 13700 block of Woods Edge Road, it was uncharacteristic for him to be out of contact for more than a few days. Growing concern led his family to report him missing on March 29, 2015, seventeen days after he was last seen. The investigation that followed yielded few answers. A single glove, identified by his family as belonging to Lee, was discovered in the Coalboro Road area where he was last seen. Lee was not employed at the time of his disappearance and was known to suffer from bipolar disorder and an unspecified developmental disorder, for which he was not taking medication. His mother noted that his condition could make him highly suggestible.
The circumstances surrounding Lee Snellings's disappearance remain a mystery. Foul play is suspected in his case, yet concrete details have been scarce. He has distinctive tattoos: a globe on his left bicep and a skull on his right. Despite the passage of time, the investigation by the Chesterfield County Police Department continues. The lack of significant leads has left his family and community searching for answers, holding onto hope for a resolution. The case serves as a somber reminder of the unanswered questions that can haunt a family and a community when a loved one disappears without a trace.
