The Warren County Sheriff's Office says its seeks the public's assistance in locating two elderly women from Warren County.

Mary Ellen Walters, 68, and Ada Wasson, 80, were last seen last Thursday April 19th at Otterbein Retirement Living Community located at State Routes 741 and 63 in Warren County. The two women live in the Patio Homes section, which is an independent living area.

They are believed to be in Mrs. Wasson's’ silver 2000 Chevrolet Impala bearing Ohio registration DG 30 LC. The women were believed to have been traveling to a JC Penney outlet center either in Columbus, Ohio or Carrollton, Ky.

Friends and neighbors alerted sheriff’s detectives Sunday that the women had not returned when expected.

Detectives have not been able to locate any record of their whereabouts after leaving home. There has been no activity on any gas or credit cards belonging to the women.

Foul play is not suspected at this time, but police are concerned for the women’s safety.

Major John Newsom said detectives have exhausted most of their investigative options.

“We just need the public’s help at this point,” he said.

If you can help, call (513) 925-1280 during business hours or (513) 925-2525 after business hours.

###

UPDATE

There will be a search Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 27, 28, 29 - anywhere 50 miles east or west of I-71 from Columbus to Carrollton, KY. Grab a map, some posters and stake out a plot of territory to search. They could truly be anywhere.

Travel the roads less travelled and go down dirt roads and look down long driveways to abandoned homes. It would be great to hang a poster on "No Outlet" signs after driving down dead end roads so as to alert others that the road has already been searched.

Take a couple bottles of water and a snack in case you find them! They'll be thirsty and hungry!

For more information, or to print some posters, go to www.neighborsearch.info

A $5000 reward is being offered by the Warren County Sheriff's Office.

Thank you.

They are using newer images of Google Earth to look for Steve Fossett. Maybe we could do that??

Google Earth is a free program available on the internet. I already have it on my computer.

More people could help if they could do it on their computers. Some people have physical problems or are out of the area. This way they could search at any hour.

Accusing the parents doesn’t make any sense in this case.

They are accused of killing Madeleine, hiding her body for a month (during which no one noticed a bad smell), and then putting her in a rental car to dispose of her body.

I think it would be very hard to hide a body so good that local police can’t find it. Especially hard since the parents are in a foreign country.

I went to visit my sister near Phillipsburg. She said they thought they had seen both women at a Sunoco at the corner of route 49 and route 40. This would have been last spring. They reported it to police at the time.

Odd that both this possible sighting and the one in Effingham, Illinois were both along route 40.

Well, Mary Ellen and Ada have been found. Although we do not have all the details yet, we know that they were found in Carroll County, Kentucky, near Ada’s car, in a very rural area. No foul play is considered at this time.

It appears that they got lost and went down a country lane that ended as a logging road on an abandoned farm. They got stuck and apparently waited there for help which didn’t come to them.

Ada was found 600 yards from the car and my mother in law was found at the car. The family was told that they were under tree cover which made searching by air impossible. The area was private property which was not searched on the ground. They were found by a local deer hunter.

I personally want to thank everyone for their prayers, advice and well wishes. Your replies and personal messages kept me energized to continue searching and thinking of new ways to keep the story in the minds of those who could help. Again, thank you all. I will post more information as is comes in.

Ada and Mary Ellen were found today. Sadly, they were deceased. The skeleton remains still need to be identified, but the car was found nearby. Thankfully they do not believe that foul play was involved. The story is on wcpo.com.
