Katherine Desiree Rose, 48, was last seen in the late morning of June 26, 2006, after a doctor’s appointment in Puyallup, Washington. Also known as Kathy and sometimes spelling her first name Katharine, she may use the last names Aron or Pahnish. At disappearance she was a long-term resident of a mental health facility, relied on medication she did not take with her, and left all personal belongings behind.

Katherine is a white female, brown hair, green eyes, about 5 feet 4 inches and 176 pounds. When last seen she wore a light blue coat, gray pants and may have had gold-rimmed eyeglasses. Family reported her failure to meet her daughter on July 2 and then filed a missing person report. Authorities say foul play is not suspected; she was known to visit local drinking establishments and might seek services for the homeless.

Her case remains open but has grown cold. If anyone knew Katherine’s routines, where she may have gone after that appointment, or has information about her whereabouts, please share what is known.
