Denice L. Powell, 59, was last seen on August 4, 2021, in Kearny, New Jersey, and is a resident of New Jersey. She is described as a white female, five feet four inches tall, weighing 90 to 100 pounds, with graying hair and brown eyes. Family members report not seeing or hearing from her for several years before filing a missing person report with the Hackensack Police Department on October 3, 2025, creating a long gap between the last confirmed sighting and the official report.

Denice was known to frequent residential assistance facilities in Paterson, which may be relevant to locating her. The case overview notes some timeline ambiguity: last physical sighting August 4, 2021, while an official last-contact date is recorded as October 13, 2025. The Hackensack Police Department is handling the investigation, which is concentrating on Kearny and the Paterson facilities Denice used.

If anyone knew Denice, saw her after August 4, 2021, or has information about where she may have been living or spending time, please contact the Hackensack Police Department.
