A 28-year-old musician from West Virginia has been missing for nearly a month after vanishing during a night out.

Gretchen Fleming disappeared from My Way Lounge & Restaurant in Parkersburg in the early hours of December 4.

Her friends said was 'extremely intoxicated' and had lost her purse during the boozy night out. Witnesses also claimed she was with an 'older' man who had 'white' hair.

It comes as cops raided the home of an apparent suspect but were not said to have made any arrests.

Gretchen Fleming, 28, went missing the night of December 4

Gretchen's high school friends have organized vigils that have brought the community together as they hope for her safe return.

Jake Grim told Dateline the case 'rattled' him immediately. He said no one has 'seen any camera footage of anything.'

'She was at multiple spots. You know, the last place she was seen to everyone was the My Way,' he added, noting that despite weeks passing by, there's no timeline of the night yet.

'It seem like she was going to multiple different places that night,' but no one has confirmed what she was wearing or how she was getting around.

Gretchen's father, David Fleming, previously told Dateline, 'We love her. Something happened to her. I don't know what to say.'

'Tomorrow would be her 28th birthday,' he said on December 23. 'She's an amazing little girl. I just want her home.' 

The Parkersburg Police - a small unit - have been in charge of the case since December 12, the day Gretchen was first reported missing.

That day, the police posted about her disappearance on Facebook, asking the community for tips and leads that may pertain to the missing young woman's whereabouts. 

The small community on the West Virginia border with Ohio have gathered for vigils in the wake of Gretchen's disappearance

On December 15, the police executed a search on a Parkersburg house and said they were executing multiple search warrants based on leads and tips that have come in since her disappearance. 

Since speaking with Dateline, Grim told DailyMail.com not much has changed or moved on the investigatory front. 

'The cops are investigating and we just want her information out there and for everyone all around and over to know who she is and that she is missing,' he said.

'The family is putting their trust into the detectives to let them do their job,' he added.
