Concerns are growing for an 84-year-old woman who has been missing since yesterday morning (February 14). Carol Ewemade, 84, from Greenwich, left her home address at about 8:30am on Monday, to see a friend in Peckham, however enquiries have established that she did not arrive. Police are now appealing for help from the public to establish her whereabouts.
The elderly South London woman was spoken to by her daughter at about midday yesterday, this is the last time she was heard from. Carol’s daughter told police that she had gotten lost and had been advised by a member of the public to get on the 345 bus towards Walworth Road. Carol’s daughter has been unable to reach her since this phone call.
Further police investigation established that Carol was in the Norbury area in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday, February 15). Police are trying to establish her whereabouts and movements today and yesterday when she went missing.
Carol is described as a Black woman, about 5ft2ins of medium to large build, with black braided hair with white in-braids. She was last seen wearing grey jogging bottoms, a dark green winter coat with no hood, a white head scarf covering hair and she was carrying a black strapped purse bag.
Detective Sergeant Ben Cowen, from the South East area’s missing person unit, said: “We are very concerned for Carol’s welfare. This is extremely out of character for Carol and understandably her family are really worried.
“We are calling on the public to help us find Carol. Were you the kind member of public who told her what bus to get on? Maybe you were on the 345 bus yesterday afternoon and saw Carol if she got on? Any information you have could be vital to helping us find Carol, so please get in touch.”
