Earnestine Edwards, 63, was reported missing from the Encanto neighborhood of San Diego and last seen on April 1, 2020, in the 4700 block of Beech Street. She suffered from memory loss and was believed to be in the early stages of dementia, which prompted concern for her safety. Authorities described her as a Black female, 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 100 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes.

Investigators noted she used public transportation and often walked; family and friends in City Heights and Downtown San Diego were identified as places she might frequent. The San Diego Police Department asked the public for help locating her. An obituary for an Earnestine Edwards of San Diego, born April 24, 1956, and listed as having died May 4, 2022, matches the missing woman’s name, age, and city, but the obituary does not explicitly confirm it is the same person and gives no details about circumstances of death.

If anyone knew Earnestine Edwards, her routines, or where she might have gone after April 1, 2020, please come forward with information.
