In the coastal community of Virginia Beach, Virginia, concern grew for 63-year-old Vicky Kay Cartwright after she was last heard from in the late summer of 2023. Her family became worried for her safety and well-being when they were unable to make contact with her. The Virginia Beach Police Department initiated a missing person investigation, but initial searches of her property yielded no clues as to her whereabouts. The lack of information and the sudden silence from Vicky created a period of painful uncertainty for her loved ones and the wider community. As the investigation continued, detectives with the Virginia Beach Police Department conducted further follow-ups. During one of these subsequent investigations at her home on Eaglewood Drive on January 17, 2025, authorities made a heartbreaking discovery. Inside the residence, they located human remains. At the time of the discovery, police could not immediately confirm the identity of the remains and began two parallel investigations: one into the missing person case and another into the death. The community waited in anxious anticipation until, on February 11, 2025, the medical examiner's office confirmed the remains were those of Vicky Kay Cartwright. The confirmation brought a sad conclusion to the search that had stretched on for well over a year. The overview of this case is one of quiet disappearance followed by a lengthy and deeply concerning period of silence. The investigation eventually led authorities back to her own home, where the search for a missing person tragically transitioned into a death investigation, bringing a devastating end to the uncertainty for Vicky's family and friends.
