Family Searches For Missing 80-Year-Old Woman With Dementia

DeKalb County police will conduct a search with family members and volunteers on Saturday.

Ricky Dawson told Channel 2 Action News that his mother, Rosa Mae Dawson, never leaves her street.

“Every now and then, she’d have spells like, ‘Who is that?’” Ricky Dawson said. “But for the most part, I would probably say 75% of the time she had her wits about her.”

11 Alive noted that a relative who normally spends the day with Rose came over last Wednesday to find the door to Rose’s DeKalb County home wide open, and the woman wasn’t inside.

Family members have placed missing posters across the neighborhood that read “Please Help” with a photo of Rose. Loved ones will also join Dekalb County police as they conduct a search on Saturday, Nov. 23. The search is open for anyone who would like to assist.

“We just want her back home safely,” Ricky Dawson said.

DeKalb County police sent out a Mattie’s Call on the day Rose was reported missing, which, an emergency alert activated by a local law enforcement agency for disabled or elderly people who have been reported missing.

Ricky Dawson, her only child, has requested for another alert to be sent out.

“I just want their full support and help. This is an area where they have more expertise than we do on how to conduct this and how to get out,” he said.
