Fishermen discover bones in a creek In the spring of 1995, a grim discovery was made in the serene setting of a creek near the Owls Creek Golf Course in Virginia Beach, Virginia. On April 18th, fishermen stumbled upon skeletal remains, setting in motion an investigation that would uncover a story of a life cut short. The remains were later identified as those of Elizabeth D. Whitehead Bryant, a 33-year-old white female who had vanished two years prior.
Elizabeth was last seen on September 30, 1993, in Virginia Beach.
At the time of her disappearance, she was known to be living a transient lifestyle. Following the discovery of her remains, the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, confirming the suspicions of investigators that she had met with foul play. The secluded area where her body was found, partially obscured by water and vegetation, suggested a deliberate attempt to conceal the crime.
Despite the official classification of her death as a homicide, the investigation into who was responsible for the death of Elizabeth D. Whitehead Bryant has grown cold over the decades. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with her murder, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains an unsolved chapter in the records of the Virginia Beach Police Department, leaving lingering questions and a search for justice that has yet to find its conclusion.
