Akens was visiting family in Spotsylvania County and was scheduled to fly home to Arizona on Dec. 5, 2015, but authorities said she never boarded her flight.
On Dec. 7, 2015, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) found a piece of blue luggage in a roadside ditch. It was unzipped, had a missing wheel, and was empty aside from a wallet found inside that had identification belonging to Akens.
