Four years ago this week, 27-year-old Vanessa Blocker vanished and has not been seen or heard from since. She was last seen on October 24, 2022, and to this day, investigators have not said what happened to her or where she went.
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office marked the anniversary this week with a cold case post. A separate entry in the Charley Project says that Blocker was last seen in Crystal River, Florida on the same date.
According to the Charley Project, Blocker was not reported missing until November 14, three weeks after she was last seen. She has never been heard from again since that day in 2022, the organization notes, and no further contact — by phone, in person, or otherwise — has surfaced in the years since.
Physical Description
The Charley Project describes Blocker as having red hair and brown eyes. It lists her as 4 feet 10 inches to 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 100 to 120 pounds.
The Charley Project states she was last known to be wearing a blue tank top and dark blue Crocs shoes.
The Charley Project entry does offer identifying details that could help investigators or the public: Blocker has a tattoo of a frog on her foot, a tattoo of a flag on her thigh, and a tattoo of a diamond on her finger.
How to Report a Tip
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office lists 352-249-2790 as a non-emergency number. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can instead contact Crime Stoppers of Citrus County at 1-888-ANY-TIPS. The organization says tipsters providing information that leads to an arrest, a warrant, or the recovery of narcotics or stolen property may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000.
Four years on, no public update has clarified what became of Vanessa Blocker or whether investigators have identified new leads.
