Catherine Sidwell, 61, of St. Louis, Missouri, was last seen on April 9, 2020, leaving a friend’s apartment on foot. She did not have a vehicle and told the friend she might be living on the street. Her family says she sometimes went periods without direct contact but normally checked in by phone or text; this silence was different and prompted concern.

Catherine is described as a white female with blonde or strawberry-colored hair, blue eyes, standing between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches, and weighing about 140 to 160 pounds. A distinguishing detail is a missing finger on her right hand. Authorities have noted she may have been struggling with her mental health.

Her disappearance was reported to the St. Louis County Police Department on April 12, 2020, and the department is investigating. There have been few public updates or significant leads released since the initial report, leaving family and friends without answers.

If anyone in St. Louis saw Catherine around April 9, 2020, or has information about where she might have gone afterward, please contact the St. Louis County Police Department.
