Joanna Strange works at the Exxon in Ruther Glen and said she couldn’t believe it when she saw Barbara Briley was missing. Strange told WRIC-TV in Richmond, “I can’t believe that I actually physically spent time with her and helped her get to her destination and she didn’t make it... the fact that, now, this poor lady is missing is heartbreaking... she said she was lost and she needed directions to where she was going but she didn’t know how to work the maps on her phone.”

Anyone with information on their possible whereabouts to contact Hamilton Township Police at (609) 625-2700 or dial 9-1-1.
