She has never been heard from again. She does not own a vehicle, and all her belongings, including her purse and coat, were found in her apartment the next day.
Hall left behind three young children. Her grandmother has custody of two of them; Hall asked her to take care of them because she felt she wasn't a fit mother.

Authorities stated there were several reported sightings of Hall in the area after her disappearance, but none of them have been confirmed. There is no evidence that she purchased a bus or plane ticket anywhere. Hall's grandmother believes she is deceased. Her case remains unsolved.
