Roane County Sheriff deputies along with Rescue Squad members and East Roane County Fire First Responders were searching overnight for a female who allegedly walked away from her property last night in East Roane County.
According to the Emergency Management director for Roane County Tim Suier, the search started around 9:00 P.M. last night for an elderly missing female identified as Donna Williams.

Thankfully, Ms. Williams was found early this morning around 6:00 A.M. in a neighbor’s backyard. She was reported to be in good shape and did not need to go to the hospital, only to return to her nearby home.

Suter wishes to thank those who searched most of the night and for their tireless efforts.
