Sunday, Aug. 7, marks the date when Bethany Anne Decker was expected to deliver her second child, but Decker remains missing. She was last seen on Jan. 29 of this year. Since that date, her 22nd birthday also passed.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office today released a new photo of Decker while carrying her first child in her third trimester (as she might look now) as well as a picture of a tattoo she has just above her left ankle.

Investigators continue to conduct interviews of Decker’s friends and co-workers. The agency continues to seek information from anyone who knew Decker or who has information about people with whom she had a relationship, to come forward.
