Missing Gwinnett County woman's mother believes something 'bad' has happened to her daughter

Amanda Kelley Hines' mom said she last got a call from her daughter on the morning of October 19. She said Amanda's phone now goes straight to voicemail.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Amanda Kelley Hines' mother, Christina Stone, said the last words her daughter spoke to her on the morning of October 19 was "I love you, mom."

It's been nearly a month and Stone said Amanda has not called, texted, shown up at her door or posted a single thing on social media. In fact, she said not a single friend of Amanda's has heard from her since the night of October 18. 

She said Amanda shared a home with her boyfriend on Bussell Place in Norcross. She said from her understanding, her daughter's personal belongings are still at the house. 

"As a mother, we know and I can feel that something is wrong with Amanda," she explained. 

Stone said Amanda missed her son's birthday this past Saturday.

"She didn't call. He turned 14 years old. He is her pride," she said.

Stone added that with Thanksgiving just around the corner, she'd be hearing from Amanda. 

"This phone would be ringing and she would be saying, 'Are you getting those sweet potato pies?' 'Because I want my sweet potato pies and I'm coming over,'" Stone explained.  

Stone said she just had surgery last week and Amanda told her she would be there to take care of her once she was out of surgery but said she never showed. 

"She would have been here," Stone said.

This all has led Stone to believe Amanda is not just a "missing person."

"I know something bad happened. I don't know what. I've been appealing to the universe to help me, but as a mother, I don't wish this pain on anyone," she explained. 

Stone said Amanda's phone now goes straight to voicemail. Gwinnett County Police confirmed they are investigating Amanda's disappearance. 

Stone said she's coming for whoever did something that led to her daughter's disappearance. 

"This is not going away. I'm still looking. I'm still knocking on doors. I have flyers. I'm going to find out what and who did whatever to my daughter and where she is," she explained.
