What This Case Needs
Funding & Support Status: 20%
To move this investigation forward, we need to bring visibility and awareness back to Annette Mammone’s case. The information available publicly today is virtually unchanged from what was released in 2001. That must change. Our immediate goal is to collaborate with local, state, and national media outlets and organizations to give Annette’s story the reach it deserves.
At the same time, we’re working to raise a small amount of funding, which the Find Me Project will match, to support future sonar and scuba diving operations in targeted areas identified through our intelligence and AI analysis.
Reaching a 50% funding and support threshold will allow us to launch both awareness and field operations, ensuring this case finally receives the attention and resources it has needed for more than two decades. Every share, every dollar, and every lead brings us one step closer to finding Annette Mammone.

Circumstances of Disappearance
Annette Mammone was 44 years old when she vanished from Charlotte, North Carolina, in September 2001. Described as a kind, dependable woman with blonde hair and green eyes, Annette stood about 5′3″ and weighed approximately 150 pounds. She was last seen at or near her residence on the 8300-block of Riverbirch Drive in the northeastern part of Charlotte.
Reports vary slightly on the exact date she disappeared, some listing September 15, 2001, and others September 19. All agree she was last believed to be driving a 1996 Toyota Tercel, which also remains missing. Despite early investigative efforts by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, no trace of Annette or the vehicle has ever been found. Her disappearance occurred just days after the September 11 attacks, a period that overwhelmed national news coverage and may have limited early visibility. Over two decades later, Annette Mammone’s case remains unsolved. She is officially classified as a missing person, with CMPD continuing to seek any new information that might explain what happened to her or lead to her recovery.
The media awareness score for Annette Mammone’s case was assessed at 45 out of 100, placing it in the moderate visibility range. While her disappearance is well-documented across major missing-person databases, traditional media coverage has been limited. Local Charlotte outlets have mentioned the case in gallery-style features, but there have been no recent in-depth reports, television segments, or national coverage through programs like Dateline or 48 Hours. The strongest engagement in the past 18 months has come from independent online creators and social-media advocates who have revisited the case through video features and discussion threads. The overall visibility remains fragmented, lacking a unified communication strategy or consistent law enforcement updates. This underscores the need for coordinated outreach, refreshed storytelling, and a focused effort to reintroduce Annette’s story to both local and national audiences.
As we move forward, it’s clear that this case needs renewed energy and focused attention. The information publicly available today is virtually identical to what was released in 2001 at the time of Annette’s disappearance. The missing person report synopsis remains just two sentences long. It’s fair to say that few resources were ever dedicated to this case, and that must change. Our next step is to collaborate with local, state, and national media outlets to rebuild awareness and visibility. At the same time, our online community, The Guardian Angel Task Force, will begin gathering new information and conducting open-source intelligence research. Once collected, our advanced AI system, Global Search, will analyze and aggregate that data to identify meaningful patterns. While the lack of digital footprints from 2001 will pose challenges, we believe there are still valuable data breadcrumbs waiting to be uncovered. By mapping Annette’s pattern of life and layering it with modern geospatial intelligence, we can identify new investigative leads. Our 2026 touring schedule includes deploying sonar and scuba-diving teams across select missing person cases, and our goal is to gather enough intelligence to conduct a live search for Annette Mammone.
