Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP98995) and 4 other sources

Sharea Yashen Ridge, a 28-year-old woman, was last seen in Waco, Texas, on August 1, 2020. At the time of her disappearance, she was reported to be wearing a hospital gown. Ridge was known to frequent homeless camps and may still be in the Waco area, or potentially in Austin, Texas.

Her family did not report her missing until 2022, two years after her last confirmed sighting. The delay in reporting, along with her transient lifestyle, has made gathering information about her case more difficult. Despite ongoing efforts by law enforcement, very few details about her disappearance have surfaced. The Waco Police Department is still investigating her case and is seeking any information that could help locate her.
