NC Woman Made Chilling 911 Call Before Vanishing Nearly 3 Weeks Ago

GREENSBORO, NC – A Black woman’s family has been on the search for her since she vanished in Greensboro, NC. weeks ago. The latest lead on her whereabouts stems from a chilling 911 call made where she appeared lost and slightly disoriented.

Marissa Kay Carmichael, 25, called 911 in the wee hours of Sunday, Jan 14. In the released audio recording, she tells the dispatcher she was at the Exxon gas station on 809 East Market Street in Greensboro, per ABC News. Though sounding distressed, she asked to be connected to the non-emergency line. On the call, Carmichael mentioned that a man had dropped her off at the gas station and asked her to get something but drove off without her.

“I don’t know where I am in Greensboro. I just got all my stuff [thrown] out the car, and he took off with my phone. I have no clue where I’m at. I have no numbers,” said Carmichael.

The dispatcher then asked if she was hurt, but she repeated back the same issue: she was in the middle of Greensboro without a phone and without a ride to get home. During the call, she never identified the man she claimed to have been with moments prior. The dispatcher then informs her they’re sending officers to her location and asks her what she’s wearing.

However… when the police arrived at the gas station, Carmichael wasn’t there.

Asked if Carmichael has been located or if any foul play is suspected, a spokesperson for the Greensboro Police Department (GPD) told ABC News on Tuesday evening that “officers are actively attempting to locate Ms. Carmichael.”

“The investigation indicates Marissa Kay Carmichael was last seen at 3:46 a.m. Jan. 14 at the Exxon,” the spokesperson said.

“Detectives are continuing to pursue all leads in this case actively,” she added. “Because this is an ongoing investigation, additional details are not being made public at this time.”

Carmichael’s mother, Sara, told ABC 45 News she believes her daughter was drugged at One 17 Club Lounge, where she was alleged to be before landing at the gas station. She also provided the police with the name of a man she believed was connected to her daughter and also called on the authorities to investigate whose phone she used to dial 911.

According to the missing person’s advisory, Carmichael is a resident of High Point, North Carolina, which is approximately 25 minutes south of Greensboro, and was reported missing on Sunday afternoon by Marissa’s mother. Carmichael is a 5-foot-4 woman and about 260 pounds. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a white Tweety Bird shirt, and yellow sneakers. She wore long black and blonde braids.

Per the missing persons report, Sara Carmichael also provided the name of a man to police who she claims could be involved with her daughter.

“To maintain the integrity of this active investigation, certain specifics of the case – such as who has been interviewed – are not being released at this time,” a GPD spokesperson said.
