Bethany Anne Decker
In 2011, Bethany was a senior at George Mason University. where she was majoring in global and economic change. She also worked at Carrabba's Italian Grill in Centreville.
On January 29th, 2011, Bethany was 21 years old and pregnant when she went missing. Her husband was on leave from military duty in Afghanistan and the couple had returned from Hawaii the day before. The couple had been married about eighteen months and had a one-year-old son, who lived with Bethany's parents.
That day Bethany had left her husband's family's home in Maryland and returned to her apartment on Orchard Grass Terrace in Ashburn, Virginia. Her boyfriend, Ronald Roldan, a married man she was having an affair with and the father of her unborn child, said he saw her there later that day. She has not been seen since.
Bethany's husband returned to Afghanistan on February 4th. She wasn't at the airport to see him off, which is uncharacteristic of her, but she and her husband had been having marital problems, so it was assumed that she was mad at him.
Bethany's car was found parked near her apartment in her garage. There hasn't been any activity on her bank accounts, email or cellular phone since she went missing.
Bethany never showed up to work or attended classes. She also left behind her passport and identification. After her disappearance, someone posing as her used her Facebook account to send messages to her friends.
Bethany's family reported her missing on February 19th, after their numerous attempts to contact her were unsuccessful and they realized someone was impersonating her on her Facebook account.
Bethany's car was found parked near her apartment in her garage. There hasn't been any activity on her bank accounts, email or cellular phone since she went missing.
Extensive searches have found no trace of Bethany or the child she might have given birth to.
Roldan is reportedly a person of interest in the case, he has never been charged with her disappearance.
In 2015, he was arrested in North Carolina and charged with the attempted murder of another girlfriend after she survived several gunshot wounds he allegedly inflicted on her during an incident in 2014. After she recovered, the victim claimed on the Dr. Phil show that he had made statements to her that might implicate him in Bethany's disappearance.
Roldan pled guilty to two lesser charges in 2016; after he serves his sentence, he will be deported to his native Bolivia.
Bethany's mother says that Bethany wouldn't have left her 2 year old son behind without an explanation.
So far, Bethany's case remains unsolved.
At the time of her disappearance, Bethany was 5'0" tall, 130 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
She had a small tattoo on her left ankle and her ears were pierced. She was about four to five months pregnant at the time of her disappearance; her due date was August 7, 2011. Bethany's maiden name is Littlejohn.
