MCCALL CREEK — The search for a missing Pike County woman continues in Franklin County. Officials, law enforcement and volunteers from several counties combed over a significant area in Franklin County and parts of Lincoln and Jefferson County. 

Franklin County Emergency Management Agency Mark Thornton said they still have people looking for Lottie Elaine Myers, a resident of Summit, who was reported missing after being last seen Monday, Oct. 28, around 1:45 p.m. on Willis Cotton Road. She was driving south in her 2015 silver Jeep Cherokee.

The vehicle was found Tuesday, Oct. 29 on McCall Creek Road close to Wright’s Bethesda Methodist Church, locked and with no signs of foul play, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.

Myers is described as a white female, 5-feet 5-inches tall and 170 lbs., last seen wearing faded denim capris and a gray t-shirt. She is said to suffer from dementia. Witnesses who saw Myers since Oct. 28 reported she said she was “fine” and did not need help, and was looking for her husband. 

Thornton said they are still riding the roads, checking with people in the community and surronding communities to find Myers. Flyers are being posted all around Franklin County as well.

Thornton told The Daily Leader last week they are hoping she might appear on security cameras outside of homes or trail cameras in the woods. If seen, please call 9-1-1; Pike County Central Dispatch at 601-684-5142; or the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office at 601-384-2323.
