Chickadee’s Escape

10/24/2025

Hey Chickadee’s Family!

I know we’ve been a little quiet or missing in action and I think it’s time we explain why. We love Tracy and growing up as her best friend will do anything to continue and help find her and get her the closure she deserves.

However, we have been dealing with some medical issues that have been taking a good deal of our time and recently received news that what we’ve been doing isn’t helping. I’m going to need a kidney transplant and have been referred to VCU Transplant Team to get on the list to find a kidney.

For anyone that knows how this goes it will take 3-5 years if we wait for a donor that has passed away. By that point I will be on dialysis, honestly looking at the decrease in the numbers my Doctor thinks it will be maybe six months before I get to that point.

The reason I am being very forward with this medical information is two fold. I want you to know why we aren’t screaming at the top of our lungs for Tracy but I also know they do have the option to do a living donor transplant. I’m not directly asking but if anyone would like to be tested to see if they could be a candidate and would be willing to donate I would be forever grateful. You don’t have to be my blood type (which is O+) the transplant team has said if I can find anyone willing that meets the criteria they will find someone else that has a donor in my blood type and we basically swap. That person would get one and so would I. I will be adding the link and ask if you do decide to try to make sure in the recipient area you place my name: Dianna Felts.

Even if you aren’t interested in trying to donate that is okay. I just ask if you pray keep me and my family in your prayers.

I love you all and want you to know you can message me if you have any questions.

Hey Facebook Friends and Family. As we start this week we are unable to do it without thinking about Tracy. This week three years ago all of our lives changed when a man decided to end Tracy’s life. The worst part of it all is he was a coward when he then chose to end his life by police su***de, taking any chance of us knowing where he placed Tracy’s body.

Tracy every day we miss you more than words can explain, but it’s moments like these that hurt the most because you were failed on so many levels and continue to be. We can’t wait for the day that we get to celebrate bringing you home instead of just another day of looking with no answers to be found.

This week we remind you to take a moment and if you pray or speak with a higher power to do so. Ask for the detectives to have fresh eyes in the case, ask for peace for Tracy’s family and friends, ask for closure, ask to be able to lay Tracy to rest in the way she wished… Basically just speak Tracy’s name.

We know with everything in us that Tracy will be found it’s just a matter of when. It’s our job as her family and friends to make sure she isn’t forgotten until then.

If you have any information even the littlest detail please reach out to the detective assigned to the case. Henrico Police: 804-501-4000 or Detective Egan (assigned to Tracy’s case) is 804-501-4878. *These numbers are public knowledge if you look up her case, we are not putting any information out that has not been previously published*

While this week is not a week we celebrate, it is a moment we share with the public as a reminder that Tracy has not been found. We ask that you please continue to be aware of your surroundings while hunting, hiking and during outdoor activities. Tracy we love you and until we meet again 💜

We’ve been getting messages regarding updates and unfortunately we don’t have any news or updates. The case has updated to now say LC is the prime suspect of Tracy’s disappearance and probable homicide.

We all know she’s gone, it’s just a matter of finding her. If you have any information regarding her disappearance or information about LC’s where abouts during that time period in March 2022 please click the link below and you can provide an anonymous tip to help the detectives solve her case!

Forever Tracy will be remembered and loved, she lives on in each of us.

For anyone that has searched for Tracy independently or with groups, can you put where you’ve searched in the comments. We are working on compiling a list of areas that can be marked off.

As we wake up today and start our day it’s with a heavy heart. Today March 1, 2024 marks two years that Tracy has been missing.

March 1, 2022 was the last time that anyone saw or spoke to Tracy. The last day before a tragedy occurred, her life was taken from this earth far too soon.

Tracy every day we miss you more than words can explain, but it’s moments like these that hurt the most because you were failed on so many levels and continue to be. We can’t wait for the day that we get to celebrate bringing you home instead of just another day of looking with no answers to be found.

While today is not a day we celebrate, it is a day we share with the public as a reminder that Tracy has not been found. We ask that you please continue to be aware of your surroundings while hunting, hiking and during outdoor activities. Tracy is not the only person missing, Virginia has 351 active missing persons cases. Let’s help bring families and friends closure in some of these cases.

Tracy until we meet again 💜

Merry Christmas in Heaven Tracy and all of our other family and friends that have passed away 💜🪽💜

As this weekend rolls in we are nothing but sad. This is the weekend that we are supposed to honor Tracy, keep her name fresh in people’s minds. We are not saying a parade is going to help find her, but we are saying that we want to do things she loved, we want to keep living life for her. Tracy would have loved the attention on her, her face being handed out to all the kids with a treat and shown on the side of a vehicle is exactly something she would have wanted.

Tracy we are sorry that the year has played out like it has, but we promise you next year we will be out in full force for you! With having surgery within the family and just not having enough volunteers this year was not doable.

PS- Sorry for the rain all weekend, that’s tear drops from heaven… just Tracy being her extra self. 💜

Hey Facebook….

I emailed Virginia state police about adding Tracy to the National Missing person list and have received no response. I also called three days in a row at different times and it goes to music playing and no one answers then disconnects. I called Henrico police to question why she wasn’t on the National and they said it was automatic that someone would be. They would email the detective and get it updated. Tracy is showing missing on Henrico but still not on Virginia. Virginia updates daily and it’s been over a week.

Who else wants to try? Maybe if multiple people are calling in the Detective on her case will realize she is loved and is not forgotten. That there are people who want her found and want her to have her final wishes occur.

Virginia state police: 804-674-2000 or they have an email available online with a click here link.

Henrico Police: 804-501-4000 or Detective Egan (assigned to Tracy’s case) is 804-501-4878.

Let’s find Tracy!

As we start Thanksgiving week I personally know that for anyone that has lost a loved one they weigh heavily on your heart and mind for any holiday they aren’t here in human flesh to celebrate with you.

Take this moment to remember that while they may not be here in a physical way that you can touch, they do watch over of us from above.

Tracy thank you for providing signs to us that you are okay and ultimately letting us know you are watching over us. May your spirit help us find you 🙏🏽
