Faith Marie Van Nortrick, 41, went missing after being released from custody in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, on August 7, 2004. Faith was living with schizophrenia and had walked away from her home in Hitchcock, Texas, just days earlier after her son sought a psychiatric evaluation for her. She was seen at about 4:00 p.m. near Chickasaw and Elm streets and taken into custody after erratic behavior at a convenience store; the arresting officer observed slurred speech and dilated pupils, but hospital testing found she was not intoxicated.

Police contacted Faith’s family after booking but no relative could travel to collect her, and she was released without identification and has not been seen or heard from since. She is a white woman, 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 100 pounds, with graying brown hair, brown eyes, two missing upper teeth with a partial denture, and needs eyeglasses. Her family says it was uncharacteristic for her to be out of contact so long despite her tendency to wander.

Does anyone remember seeing Faith in Sallisaw around August 7, 2004, or have information about her whereabouts after she left custody?
