Rosemary Rapp, a 68-year-old woman from rural Salineville, Ohio, was reported missing from her Blossom Road home after disappearing sometime between about 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Her husband said he last saw her around midnight and that she was still in the house at 5:00 a.m., but she was gone when he woke two hours later. She left on foot and did not take her medication, money, or identification; her purse was the only obvious item missing.

A handgun Rosemary normally kept in her purse was later found on the grounds of the family’s crop farm. Rosemary had been diagnosed with early-stage dementia, which family and law enforcement say heightened concern because she did not have her needed medication. K-9 teams tracked her scent down the road to the driveway before the trail ended. No trace of Rosemary was found despite an extensive search, and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.

Does anyone who lived near Blossom Road or visited the area around the time she vanished remember seeing Rosemary or her purse?
