Ann Marie Willis, a 31-year-old woman from Gloucester, North Carolina, was last seen on July 5, 2021. However, her family has not had any contact with her since May of 2021, and friends last heard from her in July of that year. At the time of her disappearance, Willis, who also goes by the last name Pritchett, was described as being 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing between 180 and 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, and the case has left her family searching for answers.
The Carteret County Sheriff's Office opened an investigation into her disappearance on October 28, 2021. Investigators have explored various leads, including the possibility that she may have been in the Hampton, Virginia, area, as well as in Onslow County, North Carolina, where she had friends. Despite their efforts, no significant leads have emerged, and her case remains unsolved. The lack of public updates has been a source of frustration for her family, who feel that the case is not receiving the attention it deserves. The sheriff's office has stated that the lack of public information is intentional to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation.
The uncertainty surrounding Ann Marie's disappearance has taken a heavy toll on her family and friends. They have expressed their heartbreak and desire for closure, with one family member stating, 'we just want her i mean something that we can bury. that's what we want.' In an effort to bring renewed attention to the case and encourage transparency from law enforcement, her family has created an online petition. The case is an active investigation, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Carteret County Sheriff's Office.
