Shirley Mae Hunt, 72 and living in Henderson, Texas, was last seen on June 19, 2007. She had Alzheimer’s and routinely took walks near her home on County Road 454. Witnesses saw her walking as children disembarked a school bus, and another person reported seeing her shortly after she turned a corner, but she never returned home and searches turned up no trace.

When she disappeared Shirley was wearing a long-sleeved blue terrycloth pullover shirt, light denim culottes or capri pants, and brown loafers, and she was wearing jewelry that included a pearl and diamond ring. Investigators note her Alzheimer’s makes disorientation a strong possibility, though it’s also been suggested she could have been picked up by a passing motorist.

The Rusk County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate. If anyone saw Shirley on or after June 19, 2007, or has information about her movements that day, please come forward.
