For a woman to be gone this long, almost always she's been victimized and probably didn't survive. There are plenty of sexual predators in Virginia, and I happen to know of one up near Quantico who's in with the 2nd-rate music scene up there. (Oddly enough, almost all sexual predators I've met are 2nd-rate musicians, middle-aged, creepy-looking white males, and very good con-artists.) Even if the person who gave her a ride wasn't the predator, it's possible that he or she could only take her so far toward her car or parents' house and had to let her off for the next ride. I've given rides to hitchhikers a few times years ago, and that's very common. If the hitchhiker is going cross-country (or cross state in this case), then they'll never find someone going that far, have to accept multiple rides. She may have taken 3 or 4 rides before the bad guy found her, or maybe she was let off in a bad spot without knowing it.

That is not the only possibility. She may be a fugue victim and either hiding or is unaware of who she is. None of these appeals will reach her if she is alone with amnesia. Jennifer Wilbanks, runaway bride, changed her appearance and got across the country in a day or so. There have been several cases around the country. Ahmad Arain, UCLA, Matthew Wilson, Rice, and Hannah Upp school teacher/grad student in New York were all revealed to have had mental events before they disappeared. Virginia Tech was warned after the Cho shooting but took no action to warn students. Every semester brings a new crop of these cases. They have been happening for over fifty years. That old case is Ron Tammen, Miami of Ohio. The library at Miami University maintains a site about Tammen with pictures and newspaper stories from the period. Even though there had been a string of disappearances, recoveries, and returns before Tammen, 1953, Miami University still does not understand what happened. Subliminal Distraction is the likely cause ot these events. SD, a normal feature in the physiology of sight, was discovered to cause mental breaks for office workers. The cubicle solved that problem by 1968. No school offers Cubicle Level Protection where needed or warns students about it.
