The Disappearance of Lovely Andreya 'Angie' Brooks

Lovely Andreya 'Angie' Brooks has been missing since January 10th, 2023. The then-53-year-old woman was last seen leaving her residence on Barlen Drive in Richmond, Virginia. She never returned home and has never been seen or heard from again. 

Before disappearing, Angie lived with and cared for her elderly father. Her family insists that it is uncharacteristic of her to leave without informing her father or any other family members. At the time, Angie's niece also resided in the household. After a week without any word from Angie, the niece told her mother—Angie's sister—that Angie was missing. Her sister then contacted the police on January 18, 2023.

There are no further indications that Angie is missing on her own accord. She left behind most of her personal belongings; only taking her cell phone and purse with her when she left her house. Additionally, Angie's bank account has been inactive since the day of her disappearance, aside from automatic Social Security deposits. 

Just weeks into the investigation, detectives stated that foul play is a "high possibility" in Angie's disappearance. It was noted that detectives had accessed Angie's cell phone records, but did not comment on whether or not anything of interest was found, likely due to the ongoing investigation. In May 2023, it was reported that detectives had a few persons of interest, but since then, there have not been any major updates in Angie's case.

Angie is described as approximately 5'11"-6'0" and approximately 150 pounds. She is a transgender woman and has been identifying as such for several decades. Angie has a tattoo of a small heart on her chest and her ears are pierced.

If you have seen Angie or have any information that could help solve her disappearance, please contact Det. Clarence Key of the Richmond Police Department at (804) 646-6764.
