The Knox County Sheriff’s Department is seeking the public’s help in locating a missing North Knoxville woman.

Patricia Ann Price was last seen May 1 at her home near the Emory Road area. When her brother returned home from work last Thursday, May 2, he noticed Patricia was not at home.

Price, who is 71 years old, has short blonde/gray hair and weighs about 220 pounds, typically wears stretchy pants or capris with a short-sleeved pullover shirt. She may be wearing a pink shirt and carrying a brown shoulder bag.

She is said to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. She has refused to take her medication in the past year and her brother believes she may have undiagnosed dementia.

If you have any information about the whereabouts of Patricia Price, please call the Knox County Sheriff’s Office at (865) 215-2243 or email [email protected].
