Angela Reeder, 41: Violent Boyfriend Left Town Following 2005 Disappearance
He died five years later, taking any information he had to the grave.
It wasn't uncommon for Angela Reeder to disappear without notice. The 41-year-old had a substance abuse problem—reportedly with cocaine and alcohol—and sometimes her loved ones wouldn't be able to get in contact with her for weeks at a time. However, Angela, a mother of two, would always resurface and let someone know she was doing as well as she could.

The relationship between the Orlando, Florida, resident and her boyfriend, Willie Green, was tumultuous. According to reports, the pair, who were living with each other, were known for their violent incidents, reportedly carried out by Green upon Angela when he was intoxicated. Described as an alcoholic, Green supposedly had a mean streak after becoming intoxicated. Many of their altercations have been documented.
On September 1, 2005, Angela’s daughter reached out to local authorities and officially reported her mother missing. The last time anyone had contact with Angela was August 16, and when investigators asked Green about his girlfriend’s whereabouts, he told them she had up and left. Green insisted he didn’t know where Angela had gone, and just two weeks later, he, too, left Orlando.
Although Green was an obvious suspect in Angela’s disappearance, authorities couldn’t ever gather enough evidence to bring charges against him.
Unfortunately, Green passed away five years later in April 2010, taking to the grave any potential leads to help detectives find Angela.
