A 17 yr old girl is murdered and left in a wooded area
In the winter of 1980, the life of a young woman named Priscilla Wilson was tragically cut short in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A 17-year-old Black female, Priscilla was last seen on the afternoon of December 3rd, getting into a vehicle after being dropped off by her school bus near Carver Avenue in the Friendship Village neighborhood.
Two days later, on December 5, 1980, a grim discovery was made in a wooded area in the 1900 block of Oceana Boulevard. The deceased body of Priscilla Wilson was found. Investigators at the scene determined that her death was not accidental or of natural causes, and it was officially ruled a homicide.
Despite the ruling of her death as a homicide, the case has remained unsolved for decades. Information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in connection with the murder of Priscilla Wilson has not been publicly released. The investigation into her death is now considered a cold case, one of many that the Virginia Beach Police Department continues to seek new leads on to bring closure to the families of victims. Her case remains a somber reminder of a young life taken too soon, with questions of who was responsible and why still unanswered.
