Chandice Rebecca Cochran<\/strong>, 28, disappeared from Sutton, West Virginia on August 20, 2019. She left her mother a handwritten note saying she was taking off \u201cfor a little while\u201d and never returned. She remains missing.

That morning, Chandice\u2019s mother left for work and came home to find her gone. The note she left behind said she was in good hands and would be back shortly.

The pair visited the home of a man named Sam Kelly, who told police he last saw them around midnight. He said Chandice and Speas left his residence on foot and did not return. Chandice\u2019s phone was turned off around that same time and has never been recovered. At 7 a.m. the next morning, Kelly saw Speas walking alone along Widen\u2011Dille Road, several miles from Birch River, with no sign of Chandice.

The case remains active. In May 2024, West Virginia State Police executed a search warrant at a property on Widen\u2011Dille Road in Clay County based on new information. Items were seized and sent to the state forensic lab, though no remains were found. As of February 2026, investigators say the search for answers is ongoing.

Chandice is a white female with brown or blonde hair, blue eyes, and a history of frequently dyeing her hair. She is 5’3″ and approximately 110 pounds. She has a distinctive tattoo on her right leg of three skulls with the words \u201cSee no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.\u201d
