Columbia Police Race Against Time to Find Missing Vulnerable Adults
In the heart of Columbia, the urgency is palpable as police continue their search for several missing vulnerable adults, raising the community’s concern and prompting a call for help. With the needs of these individuals being critical, every moment counts.
Missing: Pamela Mills
First on the list is 59-year-old Pamela Mills, who was reported missing last Sunday. Pamela, who critically requires important medication, was last seen wearing a pink shirt, burgundy pants, and a black jacket. The authorities have yet to reveal where she was last spotted in Columbia or where she could possibly be heading. This lack of information has intensified the urgency for her safe return. Community members are being asked to keep their eyes peeled and reach out with any details that could aid in her recovery. If you know anything at all, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
Deni Jordan: Another Concern
Next on the radar is 31-year-old Deni Jordan, who was last seen on January 22. Similar to Pamela, Deni also needs to take monthly medication, leading authorities to prioritize his case. When he went missing, he was identified as wearing a red Coca-Cola jacket and blue jeans. His friends and family are understandably distressed, and the police are again urging the public to provide any leads that might assist in bringing Deni back home safely.
Janica Jackson-Jones: In Need of Help
Also missing is 47-year-old Janica Jackson-Jones, who was last seen by a relative on January 24 at a home on Tremain Street. Janica is considered at risk because she relies on daily medications for various health concerns. With her well-being in mind, the authorities are appealing once more for the community’s assistance. If you have any information related to Janica’s whereabouts, don’t hesitate to reach out to Crime Stoppers.
Zelig Williams: A Long Search
The missing cases don’t end there. 28-year-old Zelig Williams has been missing since October 3. He was last seen leaving his residence on Lockwood Drive, with his car discovered the following day parked at the Palmetto Trail Parking lot. Worries are high for Zelig’s family and friends, who have banded together with the community to search diligently along the Congaree River area. Authorities have involved themselves in various search strategies, including aerial searches carried out by the Department of Natural Resources. Zelig’s situation is tough, as he also requires medication, adding to the family’s distress. This absence of contact from him is extremely out of character and has left them feeling anxious and desperate for news.
Community Involvement
As the searches continue for these vulnerable adults, it’s evident that the community’s involvement is key. Each case requires a collaborative effort, where every piece of information can be crucial. With urgent medical needs at stake for these individuals, there is a pressing need for anyone with any knowledge about their whereabouts to step forward. Authorities can’t do this alone; they need the eyes and ears of local residents.
Charleston has a heart, and now’s the time for its residents to come together and help bring Pamela, Deni, Janica, and Zelig back home to their worried families. If you see something or know something, don’t wait – reach out to Crime Stoppers and lend a hand in the search effort.
