Hopes grim missing woman is still alive
HARRISON Twp., Montgomery County - Hope is fading a 47-year-old woman missing since last week is still alive.
Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, Jan. 5, searched a creek near the home of Linda M. Shockley on East Nottingham Road.
Shockley’s family reported her missing on Dec. 29, but said she had been missing since Christmas Day. They said Shockley had no warm clothes or identification on her and she might be off her medication, investigators said.
“We are going to expand our search and notify neighboring states,” Chief Deputy Mike Nolan said. “We are still hoping to find her, but we are also realistic since it has been a week.”
Temperatures have hovered near or below freezing in the week Shockley has been missing, with wind chills falling below zero degrees at night.
Nolan said Shockley is manic depressive and her family is hoping she is staying somewhere safe. She is described as a white female about 5-feet, 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
She was last seen wearing blue jeans, an orange sweater and beige boots. Anyone with information of her whereabouts should immediately call 225-STOP.
