The family of a 21-year-old beauty queen from North Carolina are desperately searching for answers nearly than two weeks after she disappeared while traveling to a pageant in Las Vegas.
LeJourney Farrow, from Greensboro, told her mother and brother that she was scheduled to take part in the United States of America Pageant in Sin City on February 11, before flying out to New York City for New York Fashion Week.
But according to Randy Farrow, his younger sister never made it to either destination and failed to return home.
Beauty queen LeJourney Farrow, 21, from Greensboro, North Carolina, was last seen on February 11 when she took a flight to Las Vegas via Chicago. She has now been missing for nearly two weeks
Randy and his mother, Olivia Farrow, said it is out of character for LeJourney to stop communicating with her family for an extended period of time.
‘Before, she might go a day or two just not talking to anybody, but at least everybody knew she was in Greensboro,’ Randy told WNCT. ‘It’s different [now], at this point she’s been gone and could be in any state.’
Police in Greensboro said LeJourney, who attended Pitt Community College, was last seen on February 10, when she was supposed to travel to Las Vegas.
But her brother said LeJourney missed her flight and arranged to leave the following morning instead.
Her father dropped her off at the airport in Greensboro on February 11, marking the last time she was seen by anyone, reported MyFox 8.
Randy said later that day, he received a text message from his sister’s phone, saying she had landed in Chicago for a scheduled layover. She has not been heard from since.
The organizers of the pageant in Las Vegas told Fox 9 that LeJourney was not on the roster of competitors.
‘She loves pageants, that’s her passion, and for her to go to a pageant and not post anything about her being there or her travel, that’s very very weird and suspicious,’ her brother said.
After the beauty contest in Nevada, LeJourney was scheduled to travel to New York City and stay there between February 15-17, before heading home to North Carolina.
When the 21-year-old woman failed to return to Greensboro by February 18, her brother said the family started ‘freaking out.’
