Update: August 30, 2026

SEARCH CONTINUES FOR CAROLYN TAYLOR

The search for Carolyn Taylor continues. Residents should expect a significant law enforcement presence to remain in the area of Lincoln Road in Purcellville as search efforts continue.

Carolyn was last seen on August 23, 2026, at approximately 10:40 a.m. in the 18000 block of Foundry Road. She was last reported wearing a blue sweatshirt and blue jeans.

Because Carolyn is known to rest in wooded or grassy areas, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) is asking local residents to help by:

Searching your property: Check sheds, backyards, gardens, brush, and wooded areas where Carolyn may be resting.
Reviewing security footage: Check doorbell and security camera footage from August 23 at 10:00 a.m. through the present for any signs of Carolyn.

Important: LCSO is not requesting volunteer searchers. Please do not travel to the area to assist. An influx of people can interfere with the efforts of professional search teams. The most effective way to help is by checking your own property and reviewing your security footage.

If you have any information or believe you have seen Carolyn, please contact the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office immediately at 703-777-1021.

UPDATE - AUGUST 28, 2026:

There will be a continued large law enforcement presence in the area of Lincoln Road in Purcellville as the search continues for Carolyn Taylor.

Taylor was last seen at approximately 10:40 a.m. on August 23, 2026, in the 18000 block of Foundry Road in Purcellville. She is believed to be wearing a blue sweatshirt and blue jeans.

Carolyn is known to nap outdoors, particularly in grassy or wooded areas. LCSO is asking residents in and around the area where she was last seen to take the following steps on their own property only:
Check your backyard, shed, garden, and any brushy or wooded areas of your property to ensure Carolyn has not stopped to rest there.

Review security and doorbell camera footage from 10:00 a.m. on August 23 through the present for any indication of Carolyn.
We are not asking for volunteer searchers at this time.

Please do not travel to the search area to look for Carolyn. Trained law enforcement personnel are actively conducting the search, and additional people in the area could interfere with search efforts. Checking your own property and reviewing your camera footage is the most helpful thing residents can do at this time.

If you locate Carolyn or have information that may assist investigators, please call the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office immediately at 703-777-1021.

🚨 SCAMMERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THEIR NEXT TARGET! 🚨

Scammers may call, text, email, or even show up at your door pretending to be someone you trust. They may claim you owe money, that you’ve won a prize, or that you need to act immediately to avoid arrest or losing your account.

🛑 STOP before you send money or share personal information.

Remember:
🔹 Government agencies and legitimate businesses will not demand payment through gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🔹 Never share passwords, PINs, or verification codes.
🔹 Don’t click suspicious links or call numbers provided in unexpected messages.
🔹 If something doesn’t feel right, take a moment to verify it through an official source.

Scammers want you to panic. Don’t give them the chance. Slow down, verify, and protect yourself.

If you believe you’ve been the victim of a scam, report it to law enforcement.

📦🚨 DON’T LET PORCH PIRATES STEAL YOUR PACKAGE!

Online shopping is convenient, but an unattended package on your front porch can be an easy target for thieves.

Help protect your deliveries:

🔹 Track your packages and bring them inside as soon as they arrive.
🔹 Have packages delivered to a secure location or trusted neighbor when possible.
🔹 Use delivery lockers or package pickup locations.
🔹 Turn on delivery notifications so you know when your package arrives.
🔹 Consider a doorbell or security camera to help monitor your home.
🔹 If you see suspicious activity, don’t confront the person. Call law enforcement and provide a description, direction of travel, and vehicle information if available.
