Loretta Mae Williams, 71, was last seen in Artesia, New Mexico, on October 24, 2017. A Silver Alert was issued and she is listed as an endangered missing person. At the time she disappeared she was described as a white female with gray hair and blue eyes, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 158 pounds, with pierced ears. She may have been driving a blue Hyundai Accent with New Mexico plate AACX37.

There is very little public detail about what happened that day. Investigators noted an unconfirmed sighting about two weeks after she went missing, but there have been no confirmed communications or verified sightings since late October 2017 and the circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear.

If anyone in Artesia or the surrounding area remembers seeing Loretta, the blue Hyundai Accent, or has other information that could help locate her, please come forward.
