Mattie B. Wilson was 55 when she was last seen on July 30, 2008, in Memphis, Tennessee. A mother of two and grandmother to nine, she had recently suffered a second stroke that left her with slurred speech, a limp, and possible memory loss. After a three-week stay at the Regional Medical Center, she was discharged to the Restoration House homeless shelter in the Frayser neighborhood without her family being notified.

Within about an hour of arrival and before her intake paperwork was completed, Mattie went outside to smoke a cigarette while wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans and never returned. Investigators and family have found few leads and the disappearance has seen minimal media attention. Her vulnerable medical condition and the lack of notification to family are central unanswered elements in this case.

Did anyone in the Frayser area in July 2008 see a woman matching Mattie’s description or have information about her movements after she left the shelter?
