Melissa Bennett, 47, of Tampa was last seen on August 6, 2017 after being discharged from Florida Hospital Carrollwood at about 8:00 p.m. She left the facility on foot and was not reported missing until September 21, 2017, when a friend filed the report because she still had not been heard from.

At the time she disappeared Bennett had medical conditions including seizures and memory loss from a prior brain injury, factors that led authorities to classify her as endangered missing. She is described as a Caucasian woman with brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 1 inch tall and 96 pounds. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has been involved, but few details have emerged about her whereabouts since that evening.

Anyone who saw Melissa around the hospital on August 6, 2017 or who has information about where she went is asked to come forward.
