In the spring of 2010, a 35-year-old woman named Charlene Hollenback Johnson Satterfield was last seen in Morgantown, West Virginia, on March 15th. A white female with brown hair and blue eyes, Charlene stood at approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighed between 110 and 120 pounds. A distinctive tattoo of a vine wrapped around her right wrist served as a unique identifying feature. The circumstances surrounding the last time she was seen are not publicly detailed, but a few months later, events would unfold that would deepen the mystery of her whereabouts and signal the start of a long and painful period of uncertainty for her family.
In June of 2010, with heavy hearts, Charlene's family attempted to reach her in Morgantown to deliver devastating news: her mother was gravely ill and nearing the end of her life. They managed to make contact with Charlene, who was reportedly employed at a local hotel at the time.
In a painful and puzzling exchange, she refused their offer to bring her to her mother's side for a final farewell. This was the last known communication her family would have with her, a conversation that left them with more questions than answers and marked the beginning of her silent disappearance from their lives. The years that followed were filled with an unnerving lack of contact, leaving her loved ones to wonder about her safety and well-being.
As time stretched on without any word, concern for Charlene grew into deep-seated fear. In 2015, five years after their last conversation, her family requested a wellness check to be performed by law enforcement in Morgantown. Deputies with the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department attempted to locate her, but their efforts were in vain; they were unable to find any trace of Charlene. Since that unsuccessful attempt to verify her safety, no further contact has been made. The case of Charlene Hollenback Johnson Satterfield is a quiet one, lacking the extensive media coverage that some missing persons cases receive. It is an overview of a daughter who vanished after a final, sorrowful refusal, a woman who seemingly stepped away from her life, leaving behind only the lingering question of what happened after that last phone call and the enduring hope of her family for answers.Last Seen: Mar 15, 2010
