It's been six years since a mother of three from Kanawha County was last seen.

Melanie Metheny dropped off her children at daycare in Belle on the morning of July 19, 2006, according to investigators.

Family members have said that the young mother was trying to better herself by attending school to become a pediatrician. She was also set to appear on billboards advertising an adult education program.

Instead, Melanie Metheny seemingly vanished without a trace. Her van was found on Charleston's west side, four days after she was last seen.

Since then, police have continued to follow up tips and search for her. Metheny is 5'3", 100 pounds and had blond hair and brown eyes at the time of her disappearance.

A website has been set up to aid in the search for Melanie Metheny. You can learn more by clicking on this link. A $500 reward is being offered in the case.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office at 304-357-0169.
