Ellen Townsend, 56, disappeared from her home on Glenwood Parkway in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on March 30, 1998. Known to be struggling with depression, she was last seen wearing a brown outfit and matching brown shoes. At the time she went missing she was described as 5 feet 9 inches and 125 pounds, with graying black hair worn in a bun or a short to medium-length afro, and large-frame eyeglasses.

All of her essential personal items — including bank cards and medical cards — were left at home, and investigators concluded she did not have access to a vehicle when she vanished. There has been no communication or financial activity linked to her since that date, and the Chattanooga Police Department continues to list her as an endangered missing person.

Does anyone who knew Ellen or lived on Glenwood Parkway in 1998 have information that could help clarify what happened that late March day?
