Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP20367) and 4 other sources
Charlene Victoria Price, a 40-year-old woman, vanished in Cleveland, Ohio, under circumstances that remain unclear. There are conflicting dates regarding her last known contact, with some sources stating February 20, 1998, and others citing July 2, 1997. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as a Black female with black, curly hair and brown eyes. She wore eyeglasses and had pierced ears. Distinctive features included scars on her left arm, left forearm, and right arm. When last seen, she was reportedly wearing a cream-colored top, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes.

Details concerning the specific location where she was last seen also vary, with one account mentioning the 1000 block of Addison Road in Cleveland. Despite the passage of time, her case has remained open, though very few details about the investigation have been made public. The lack of information has made it difficult for her family and the community to find answers or closure. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are sparse, and she has not been heard from since.

The case of Charlene Price is one of many unsolved missing persons cases in the Cleveland area, a city that has seen a significant number of such disappearances over the years. The limited information available in public records highlights the challenges that law enforcement and families face in these situations. Without new leads or information, the quest to understand what happened to Charlene continues, leaving a void for those who knew her. Her disappearance is a somber reminder of the many individuals whose stories remain unfinished and whose families are left waiting for answers.
