Emma Jean Duncan, 70, disappeared from Northland Mall in Southfield, Michigan, on a summer day in June 2011 while on a group outing with her caregiver. Living with dementia and bipolar disorder at the time, she wandered away from the supervised visit and was never seen again. She was described as Black/African American, between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 3 inches tall, 115 to 130 pounds, with brown eyes. She was wearing a straight black wig with bangs, blue jeans, a white shirt, and a brown velour sweater when she vanished.

A later report tied an unidentified woman found in a burning, abandoned house in Highland Park to Emma because the body was said to be wearing a black wig and blue jeans, but investigators noted a substantial discrepancy in the estimated age of the deceased and did not confirm a match. Northland Mall, the last known location, has since closed and been demolished, removing a key point in the timeline. Few concrete leads have emerged and the case remains cold.

If anyone remembers Emma, saw her at Northland Mall in June 2011, or has information about her movements that day, please come forward.
