Lillie Maxey, 81, went missing from Maggie’s Nursing Center in Austin, Texas, on May 3, 1983. She suffered from dementia and had a history of wandering; staff believe she left the facility sometime that day and was reported missing about 5:00 p.m. She has not been heard from since.

At the time she disappeared Maxey was described as a Black woman, 5 feet 5 inches, 110 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a pink dress, bedroom slippers, a blue headscarf and carrying a gray purse. She had previously lived in Beaumont before moving to the Austin nursing home.

Her case remains listed as an endangered missing person by the Austin Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety because of her age and medical condition. Does anyone have information about her movements in Austin in early May 1983 or recall a sighting after she left the nursing center?
