The Disappearance of Melanie Metheny

Cold Case Crew

“But what about my babies!”— It may sound cliche, I know, but as a mother, you rarely give a second thought to what would happen if you somehow found yourself forcibly taken from your children prematurely. You partially think this because so often that is not the case, that ‘It’s not going to happen to me,” but maybe too because you know that it is your worst fear realized and if you think on it too long it’s absolutely terrifying. But sadly it is a reality, especially in many missing persons cases. On July 19, 2006, twenty one (21) year old Melanie Metheny of Belle, West Virginia dropped two (2) of her three (3) children off at The Country Kids Daycare. Melanie was a devoted single mother, who had been making strides to become a nurse. Melanie made remarks to several individuals that morning that she intended to run over to the Garnet Career Center to pick up some transcripts that she needed for the upcoming semester. But Melanie would never make it to the Career Center and by the end of the day, Staff at the Country Kids Daycare contacted Melanie’s family, informing them that Melanie had never arrived back to pick up her children. Melanie has not been seen or heard from since. As clues began to unfold, the circumstances of Melanie’s fate became even blurrier and the events leading up to her disappearance shrouded in mystery. Join the Cold Case Crew as they re-tell The Disappearance of Melanie Metheny, a 2006 Cold Case from Kanawha County and the first in our Capital Crimes Comeback!
