The Disappearance of AJ Hadsell
Angelica Marie Hadsell, known as AJ, went missing on March 2, 2015, during her freshman year at Longwood University. On that day, her last confirmed sighting was at home when her mother dropped her off earlier in the morning, and her whereabouts became a matter of concern when her mother received cryptic text messages from her. AJ's family found a concerning note in her handwriting, which suggested she was feeling overwhelmed by recent family turmoil, complicating the search efforts. Despite the family's immediate actions to locate her, including involving the police, a formal missing person report was filed after AJ's unusual messages stopped, leading to a deeply troubling investigation.
