Gertrude Keene, 79, was last seen in the late afternoon of Tuesday, May 23, 2006, in Columbia, South Carolina. A petite woman at five feet tall, she had black hair, brown eyes, wore eyeglasses and spoke with a Cuban accent. That day she was wearing a brown and white blouse and brown pants.

Living with Alzheimer’s Disease and unable to provide her home address or phone number, it is believed she may have boarded a bus on Windemere Avenue that afternoon. After that possible bus ride she vanished and no confirmed sightings or public leads have been reported. The Columbia Police Department handled the investigation, but few details have been released and the case has gone cold.

If anyone knew Gertrude, remembers seeing her on or around Windemere Avenue on May 23, 2006, or has information that could help, please come forward.
