She Disappeared Along With Her Dog In 2012, And Cleaning Supplies, Rubber Gloves, And Blood-Stained Clothing Were Later Found In Her Apartment
In 2012, 37-year-old Kathleen Haley lived alone in Newport News, Virginia. She had an apartment on the 2800 block of West Avenue, located in the downtown area, and worked as a dancer at a local club known as Headlights.
Kathleen was also in a relationship. However, her boyfriend actually moved to Germany just one month before she vanished on September 1, 2012.
That day, Kathleen reportedly spoke to her sister and planned to stop by her sister’s home for dinner. Additionally, she talked about how she had other plans later that evening – although its unknown what they were.
Regardless, Kathleen never arrived at her sister’s home for dinner. Rather, both she and her 1-year-old dog named Molly have been missing ever since.
Kathleen’s loved ones ultimately contacted the Newport News Police Department on September 7, 2012, to report her missing. Then, once an investigation was launched and authorities visited her apartment, they quickly found evidence indicating foul play was involved in her disappearance.
First, investigators discovered multiple pairs of rubber gloves and cleaning supplies in her bathroom. There was also blood on Kathleen’s bedroom wall and blood-stained clothing in her laundry basket.
So, authorities reportedly collected 17 different swabs of “suspected blood” from throughout her apartment, including the residence’s walls, kitchen, and bedroom.
Additionally, Kathleen’s bed and computer were missing – although her mattress and box spring were subsequently found near a dumpster outside.
Her car was found in the parking lot of her apartment complex as well. The vehicle was unlocked, and the driver seat was pushed all the way back – even though Kathleen was only four foot eleven. So, a taller individual may have driven the car last.

When investigators spoke to witnesses, they claimed an unidentified white male with blonde hair had gone in and out of Kathleen’s apartment on or around September 4, 2012. He was also reportedly seen walking toward the dumpster outside holding something rolled up, which could have been bedding.
While investigators released a sketch of the man on September 8, 2012, though, his identity is still unknown.
According to Kathleen’s loved ones, she was a private person who spoke with her family members once or twice every week. So, they believe she wouldn’t have given someone else a key to her apartment or left her car unlocked.
Nonetheless, her cell phone, bank account, and credit card records have shown no activity since she vanished, and there have been no other leads in her case. No one has seen or heard from Kathleen in over a decade, and her case remains unsolved.
Since the years following her disappearance, there has been little media coverage of Kathleen’s case. But, back in 2015, both her sister, Diane Roman, and Detective William Gordon with the Newport News Police issued renewed pleas to the public for information.
“Please come forward. We need to know what’s going on, where she is, any information at all,” Diane said.
“There’s always hope. We have not found a deceased person, so there is always hope. We’re going to search and continue to try until we either locate her or find her remains,” Detective Gordon stated.
At the time of her disappearance, Kathleen was four foot eleven, weighed between 100 and 120 pounds, and had brown hair and hazel eyes. She also tended to wear small stud earrings and a homemade gemstone necklace.
If you have any information regarding her case, you are urged to contact the Newport News Police Department at (757) 928-4100.
