Patricia Trish Ann Lalonde, 43, was last seen on February 22, 2012, in the 500 block of Franklin Street in Mount Olive, North Carolina. She left a friend’s house to pick up medicine for herself and her boyfriend, riding a distinctive yellow Eton Beamer 49cc motor scooter with black side mirrors and pink stickers, and wearing a black motorcycle helmet with noticeable scratches. She took her cell phone but left her purse and wallet behind.

Patricia is a white female, 5 feet 8 inches, about 95 pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She had several tattoos including a homemade outline of a Celtic cross on her right ankle and a scribble-like mark on her upper middle arm, pierced ears, numerous scars on her arms and legs, and sometimes carried a crucifix. Her family said leaving her dogs unattended for this long was uncharacteristic; she had ties in nearby towns including Dudley, Calypso, and Warsaw. Both she and the scooter remain missing.

Does anyone in Mount Olive or the surrounding towns remember seeing Patricia or her yellow scooter around February 22, 2012?
