CARTERET COUNTY – NC
A reward of up to $10,000 is now offered for information in the case of 90-year-old Goldie Hall. Carteret County sheriff’s deputies announced the reward Monday afternoon, Sept. 24, 2012
Hall, who lived alone, was reported missing Thursday after fire crews responded to a fire at her house on Highway 24 in Broad Creek, near Newport. Investigators have been searching the area for Hall ever since.
Anne Glasey, Hall’s niece, said she is hoping answers come forward soon.
“Whatever or whoever knows her whereabouts, please let us know. Time is running out. We need help, and I feel like somebody knows something,” Glasey said.
The cause of the fire is unknown. Arson investigators at the scene are gathering evidence to determine if arson is suspected.
It’s not clear if the case is being called suspicious, but investigators said there are a lot of questions about Hall’s disappearance.
Ground and aerial searches have been conducted by deputies, the US Forest Service and the North Carolina Highway Patrol aviation unit. Searches of the surrounding waterways have been conducted by the United States Coast Guard.
PREVIOUS STORY
Deputies released a delta alert in the case of 90-year-old Goldie Hall.
A highway patrol helicopter searched the area for thirty minutes Thursday afternoon, but the search was suspended because of mechanical problems.
Firefighters were called to her residence at 2065 Highway 24 in Broad Creek, near Newport. Firefighters say the fire was contained mostly to the kitchen of the home. Broad and Gales Creek Asst. Fire Chief Drew Guthrie said firefighters were concerned Hall was inside, but they did a sweep of the home and didn’t find anything. But later Thursday night, Hall was still missing. That’s when Carteret County deputies put out an alert, asking the public’s help to find Hall.
“There’s no words to describe it,” neighbor Anna Willis said. “I just can’t understand what has happened to her.”
Investigators recovered Hall’s cat, Buttercups, from inside the home Thursday. Willis said it isn’t like Hall to leave the cat behind.
“She would’ve gotten in touch with somebody before now because of the cat,” Willis said. “She was crazy about buttercups. Buttercups was her life.” Willis also said Hall is very sharp for her age.
Deputies say Hall was last seen inside her home on Wednesday. Friends and relatives searched the nearby cemetery where Hall often takes walks, but did not find her.
Hall is described as a white female, 5’02”, approximately 100 lbs. She cannot drive a car at this time. She is believed to be wearing a red and white shirt and red pants at the time of her disappearance.

Is there there a remote possibility that Miss Goldie may have been in the beginning stages of dementia? I mean, did she talk of the past, of momma and poppa, and where she was born or came from? Did she forget things such as telling someone something and then 5 minutes forget she told someone anything? Did visitors come to visit, and in 5 minutes after they left, she forgot anyone had come to visit? Did she tell a story and in 5 minutes later the story had changed? Did she tell someone that she was giving something to someone and 5 minutes later she told someone she was giving it to someone else? My daddy, was in the early stages and later in the late stages of dementia. I knew it because I once worked in a nursing home that had patients with dementia. The day I knew my daddy was in the early stages, I was helping him move. Before I could take a load to my car and drop it off at the very same apt. complex, Daddy said, “Jo Jo, here’s the book the MANGER wants to read. I came back 5 minutes later and daddy said, “Look Jo Jo, here’s the book that YOU want to read! That’s when I knew. In the late stages, deceased friends came to visit. He saw sheep in my living room. He had a conversation with a stuffed gorilla. He saw “haints”, ghost, in my sisters living room. He asked for coffee, but forgot it was sitting right beside him. He forgot his first granddaughters name. My great-aunt was in the late stages. She talked of Momma and Poppa and Kaufman, Texas. She was in a hospital bed, but called me because she was lost in the woods. She saw her best friend hopping in the bushes. My sister, who my aunt adored, was sleeping with her husband, or so she said. My aunt was funny and she loved to make people laugh. So we laughed at her wild tales. Miss Goldie may very well be headed to the place she loved most. Home, and Momma and Poppa. Someone needs to go down the path that Miss Goldie would have taken to go home. That’s the best advice I can give you.
