Taylor was a very self-confident, beautiful person. She just saw all the good in everyone. She was never really negative. She would just make sure that you felt comfortable and that you knew you were loved. My name is Glenna Skia, and I'm Taylor Beal's best friend. In the fall of 2005, Taylor was very excited about going to Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
I did worry. She hadn't even turned 18 yet. And I'm Janet Pellicera, and I'm Taylor's mother. I kissed her goodbye, and she got in her car, and off she went.
She didn't call me that night, which is weird to me. I was scared. You know, why isn't she turning up? Did she run away?
In the initial stages when she was first reported missing, we didn't have a whole lot to go on. My name is John Venuti. I'm a captain with the Richmond Police Department. We know that she left the dormitory. And basically, she's gone. Her car's gone.
The mystery deepens. A missing Virginia Commonwealth freshman, 17-year-old Taylor Beal, seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.
Where would she go? Who would she go with? She wouldn't skip school. It's the second week of school.
