In the late summer of 2000, a 41-year-old man named Stephen Dwayne Talley vanished while traveling in Virginia. Known to his friends and family as Stevie, he was last seen on August 17, 2000. On that day, Stephen, a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, was reportedly hitchhiking to Waynesboro, Virginia. Standing at five feet eight inches and weighing around 150 pounds, he had a noticeable scar on the top of his head. At the time of his disappearance, there was concern for his well-being as he suffered from seizures. The circumstances surrounding Stephen's disappearance remain shrouded in mystery, with very few details available to the public or to the investigators working on his case. He was last seen in Lovingston, Virginia, with the intention of getting a ride to Waynesboro. From that point on, there has been no contact with him, and he has not been heard from again. The Nelson County Sheriff's Office opened an investigation into his disappearance, but the case has yielded little information over the years. His case is classified as one of an endangered missing person. Decades have passed since Stephen Talley was last seen, and his case has grown cold. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open with the Nelson County Sheriff's Office. Information about what he was wearing or any personal belongings he may have had with him has not been made widely available. The lack of new leads has left his family and community without answers, and the overview of his case is one of a man who simply vanished without a trace while trying to get from one town to another.
