Ruth Sims, a 74-year-old African American woman from Livingston, Alabama, went missing on June 27, 2001. Living with Alzheimer’s Disease, she was last seen at her home wearing a blue skirt and a blue top. Family members say she may have been unable to find her way back; she sometimes wore a short auburn wig.

Ms. Sims is described as medium build, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The York Police Department handled the investigation, but no public details of progress have emerged and there has been no sign of her since she disappeared.

This remains an endangered missing person case and the family continues to have unanswered questions. If anyone knew Ruth, saw her in Livingston around late June 2001, or has information that could help, please come forward.
