Human remains found in Virginia Beach where woman went missing in 2023

Virginia Beach police found remains on the property where a missing woman had last been seen more than a year ago.

Jody Saunders, a spokesperson for the Virginia Beach Police Department, said the department was called to the 1000 block of Eaglewood Drive, near Oceana Boulevard, in reference to the case of Vicky Cartwright, who has been missing since 2023. During the search, officers found human remains. It is unknown if the remains are Cartwright’s.

According to the Virginia Beach Crimesolvers, Cartwright was last seen at the 1000 block of Eaglewood Drive, but it was unclear what she had been wearing. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System reported that she was last heard from on Sept. 7, 2023. Her property was searched “numerous times” without any results, according to the system.

Saunders said there will be two parallel ongoing investigations until the remains are identified.
