The family of Darian Hudson continues their search of the missing then-23-year-old who went missing four years ago on October 22, 2017.
Hudson's family says the now-27-year-old experienced a difficult year before her disappearance, after suffering a miscarriage, break up with a boyfriend, and the death of her beloved pet dog, Zig. She had made plans to move back home to Wichita, Kansas and attend nursing school, her mother said, just days before she vanished.
Hudson was last seen in a wooded area near a construction site in Stillwater, Oklahoma, some witnesses stating they saw her wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and dark coat.
The circumstances of her disappearance remain unknown and it took months before law enforcement got a lead on her purse that was recovered from the area. A man attempted to use Darian's debit card at a hotel which alerted authorities. The man told officers at the time he found the card in purse near the construction site were she was last seen.
In the years since her disappearance, there hasn't been any activity on her social media or bank accounts, and her family wants answers.
