Below is an earlier version of this story:
SOUTHPORT — The Bay County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the assistance of the public to help locate a woman missing since 10 p.m. Sunday night.
Family members saw Phyllis Ann Williams drive away from her home at 12040 Highway 77 in Southport last night and thought that while driving at night was unusual for Williams, she may have needed something from a nearby convenience store. When Williams failed to return by midnight, the family contacted the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.
Williams, 83, takes medication that sometimes causes symptoms similar to dementia. She was driving a 2004 white Dodge pick-up truck, 2500 series, single cab, with a chrome bush guard across the front. The truck has amber lights on top of the cab.
Williams was last seen in the Fort Walton area when a Fort Walton police officer ran her tag because he noticed the driver was stopping the vehicle for yellow lights. Just before the officer could attempt a traffic stop, he was sent on a call for service. The FDLE has issued a Silver Alert for Phyllis Williams.
Anyone with information about Phyllis Ann Williams is asked to contact the Bay County Sheriff’s Office at 747-4700 or Crime Stoppers at 785-TIPS.
