On the morning of March 24, 2003, Melinda McGhee, a 31 year old Licensed Practical Nurse, finished working the night shift at an Alabama nursing home. After getting home at around 8:30 am, Melinda called her husband, Troy, who was at work. Before getting off the phone, Melinda said she was going to sleep until Troy and their kids returned home later that day.
When Troy and the kids arrived home at around 3:45 pm, Melinda wasn’t there. Instead, they found signs of a violent struggle and blood inside the house. Concerned for Melinda’s safety, Troy contacted the police to report her missing.
Officers quickly arrived at the scene and concluded that Melinda had been assaulted and abducted. Despite a thorough search and investigation, no sign of Melinda has ever been uncovered. It’s been just over 20 years since Melinda disappeared, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…
At the time of her disappearance, Melinda was 31 years old, 5’4”, 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
If you have any information about Melinda’s disappearance, please call the Escambia County Sheriff's Office at 251-867-0304.
