Mishelle Renee Calvert, a 54-year-old mother from Jacksonville, Florida, traveled to Rock Hill, South Carolina, in the spring of 2017. She was visiting for what should have been a joyous occasion, her daughter's birthday, but her trip was extended under troubling circumstances. Her son, Joshua Goodman, had been arrested and charged with attempted murder, compelling Mishelle to stay and look after his home on Bonnybrook Circle while he was in jail.
She had been in Rock Hill for about a month, handling her son's affairs and planning to attend his bond hearing later in May. Family members last saw her on May 7, 2017, when she dropped her teenage daughter off at the home she shared with her father and stepmother in Charlotte. The following day, May 8, Mishelle was expected to make the drive back to Florida, but she never arrived.
Concern grew quickly when Mishelle, who was known for being in constant contact with her teenage daughter, stopped answering her cell phone. This uncharacteristic silence was the first sign that something was gravely wrong. The search for Mishelle began, with law enforcement and her family desperate for answers. A significant development in the case came on May 28, 2017, when her vehicle, a Ford Five Hundred with Florida license plates, was discovered abandoned. The car was found at an unoccupied apartment building on Sharon Pointe Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, a location to which she had no known ties. The discovery of her car without any sign of Mishelle only deepened the mystery surrounding her disappearance. Along with Mishelle, her makeup bag was also noted as missing, an item that those close to her felt she would not have willingly left behind.
Authorities have investigated Mishelle Calvert's disappearance across the Carolinas and have extended their efforts to Florida, but the case has grown cold. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds, with dark hair and brown eyes. She has a distinctive tattoo of a heart with an arrow on her upper left thigh. While her son was subsequently sentenced to ten years in prison after pleading guilty but mentally ill to the attempted murder charge, investigators have not publicly indicated any link between his case and his mother's vanishing. The lack of evidence and leads has left her family with unanswered questions and a painful void. The case remains an active and unsolved missing person investigation, a heart-wrenching puzzle of a devoted mother who traveled to care for her son, only to disappear without a trace.Last Seen: May 8, 2017
