On the morning of September 20, 2001, 33-year-old Angela Whalen Hudson walked her two children to the bus stop in Pelham, North Carolina. When her children returned home that day, Angela wasn’t home and they were told by their stepfather that she had said she had to go “do something” and just walked off. Angela never returned and was never seen again.
In the months leading up to Angela's disappearance, her marriage had broken down and Angela had started to move forward with a divorce. Angela had gotten a restraining order against her husband just a month before she went missing.
Even though there was a history of abuse in her marriage, since there was never any evidence of a crime, not much has been done by law enforcement to find Angela.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Angela Whalen Hudson, please call the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office at (336) 634-3232.
Currently, there is a $1000 dollar reward from Crime Stoppers for any information leading to an arrest. You can reach Crime Stoppers at 336 349-9683.
There is also another $1000 dollars which has been personally donated to the cause. This reward is for any information leading to Angela's whereabouts.
Angela’s family has a Facebook page for her and that’s called Bring Angie Home. They also have an email if you’d like to submit a tip, that is [email protected].

You know we can do this, that and the other thing- and I'm like okay, so I'm really motivated so me and my husband drive all the way to virginia, and I told her I said I would be willing to speak to him if he would be willing to speak with us- and I said I won't go, of course by myself, because I don't want to disappear too so said, detect
I made the arrangements or when I spoke to him and he goes all girls. She brought me coffee out to the shop them

bushes somewhere, and you killed yourselves, sir. I'm like what the hell are you talking about he's much older. Nobody still seen
berry and control of the mind, and now I'm like okay. This is because
Now everybody is constantly asking questions so now now we're gonna throw that into the mix
but nobody else there had any.
To do with her family members are friends. Nobody else thought per second, that she was depressed or sewers,
during that meeting with robert, he seemed to want a point fingers at that best friend, when my husband and I did talk to Robert washed, her with the detective he kept, making very vague comments that if we wanted to know the truth that that you were needed to talk to the inspector was right. There is recorded on the detective phone and still nobody has called for an and talk to her like an actual interrogation, not chit chat over the telephone. That seems to be the thing
there are just go had tea on somebody's torture. I walked chit chat on the telephone after the disappearance of their mother and
Daughter, Stephen north carolina to finish school when the list
and her husband raised Angela son. It's been a tough road for them,
and for that reason, Melissa has chosen the keeper names out of the podcast ml.
So just once answers- and she just wants to know what happened to her sister,

Emily who had begun, helping with the case had encouraged family members to have their dna put into the system. That way a match might be.

Don't do anything in the beginning. Now you have detectors trying to catch up ten years worth of miss thorpe, and this isn't the un. It's not the only one

I do feel like you, don't maybe the one detective I don't know if he cannot hold the things that could have been done because she was bipolar or for just because you know you have small department, any huge counties, huge counties you now you have like three detectives taking care of a whole entire county. I still think that

things going on in your county that you have to take care of. I just
hoping that we can get the information out there and get a huge force behind it that maybe somebody will finally get tired of keeping secret and say what needs to be said. I just at this point I dont even care if there's a prosecution at this,
why I just want to bring my sister home properly lay her aroused
my mother, some peace both for she dies.
I don't want my mom to die, not knowing where her baby is. That's that's all I want somebody wants to call crimes, shoppers and

Does she know more about what happened? Angela, I can't,
you stand by robert hasn't been looked at further sensors, a history of abuse and Angela
just gotten a restraining order. The month before she disappeared, it appears that
case may have been overlooked because of misconceptions about the wiccan religion and the fact that Angela had bipolar disorder, even though
he struggled at times in the past. She had always set up arrangements with her sister to keep the kids during those tough times her history
