Three years of uncertainty may be over for the family of Virginia Collier.

Her car was found in the Black Creek community. The Etowah County Sheriff's Office is investigating the discovery.

The investigators did not say if the body was found. The agencies involved in the investigation will hold a press conference on Friday.

The missing person's report was filed with the police in March. She lived in Florida and traveled to Etowah County to visit her brothers. She left her brother's home in Glencoe on the evening of March 5, but never made it to Bud's home on Lookout Mountain.

There is still no sign of Virginia Collier despite promising tip.

One brother thought she had decided to stay at the other brother's home, so they didn't realize he was missing. She didn't have her cellphone and didn't receive it before she went missing.

The family contacted her brothers and her cousin the next day when they couldn't reach her by phone. The family members contacted the police.

There was no sign of the missing woman or her car, which was blue, when she was searched on foot and by helicopter.

The two brothers who lived in Etowah County died in the three years since she went missing.

Jones said that a car believed to be her cousin's had been found. She said that her cousin, who she called "Dink", had been more like sisters than cousins.

Jones spoke to the people who loved Collier after his disappearance.

She said that the unanswered questions of where Collier was and what had happened to her were always there.

Independent investigators and treasure hunters were drawn to the missing person case because of the law enforcement searches. A Virginia man investigating missing person cases in the area found a vehicle submerged in the river behind Summer Waters apartments last month.

The vehicle is believed to be related to a missing person case from the 1980s. Because of the condition of the vehicle, authorities did not immediately bring it up.

He found the vehicle using a tool that other independent searchers had not used.
