Velma Vinson, 81, was last seen in Knoxville, Tennessee, on November 17, 2025, about 1:00 PM. Her disappearance was reported to the Knoxville Police Department the same day, and investigators began building a timeline of her last known movements. She is described as having gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes.

Family and friends say her absence was out of character. Details about what she was wearing that day or whether she had any particular destinations are not available, which complicated the early search and left few solid leads.
