Shirley Elizabeth Butler, 53, was last seen at her Augusta, Georgia home on the 400 block of Sand Bar Ferry Road on the morning of December 30, 2015, after an argument with her husband about being away from home for several days at a time. She was reported missing to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office on January 4, 2016. Shirley is a Black female, black hair, brown eyes, five feet five inches tall, about 180 pounds. She was known to frequent 2nd Street, Telfair Street and the Olmstead Homes housing complex, and may have used the name Shirley Cruz.

Shirley lived with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and diabetes and may have needed medication. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation in early 2016, but there has been no public update or resolution, and her case has gone cold.

If anyone knew Shirley, saw her around late December 2015 or has information about her whereabouts, please share what you know.
