Mother Joyce Darlene Patterson is Missing!

August 20, 2008

To Anyone Who Reads This:

My name is Miranda Rhuda. I am 25 years old and I am from

Ohio.

In 1996, my mother Joyce Darlene Patterson, age 53, went

missing from Ohio.

Since that time, I have continually searched for her with no

assistance and no outcome. Recently, I found public records

with her name and date of birth listed online. She is in

Phoenix (somewhere). The last address given to the police

in September 2007, was 813 W. Madison Street.

This address is an industrial building which is boarded up.

I know this because a man named Jeff Knapp, who is doing

homeless ministries, has assisted me in checking it out.

I believe that she may be homeless. She may be a drifter.

In the past, she has been an alcoholic and has had very

serious mental issues. I really need to find her for family

reasons and mostly so that I can get her off the streets

and get her treatment. There is no reason for her to be

homeless and/or stealing to provide for herself. She is 5 ft.

tall, 117 lbs, brown hair, brown eyes. Her Date of Birth is

07/18/1956.

I am enclosing pictures of her. I would appreciate any help

that you may be able to give me. If you could please post this

somewhere or forward it on to someone who may be able to help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

If you or anyone else, has any information, please send me

an email at misswriter415@aol.com

Thank you and God Bless,

Miranda Rhuda
