The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is trying to locate a motorhome as authorities investigate the disappearance of a 68-year-old grandmother from Prospect, authorities said late Friday night.

A news release said the search for the motorhome identified in sheriff's office pictures is possibly related to the disappearance of Deenah Padgett, who has been missing since Aug. 30.

Read the full article, this is very concerning. Apparently, the boyfriend didn't report Deenah missing until Sept 8. I hope that Deenah is safe, but where could she be?

Prospect has a population of less than 500 people.

I don't understand why the story on the missing flyer: "she went camping with her caregiver, when she came back to camp, she was gone" doesn't seem to align at all with the family's story in the R-V Times article above.

I know, it's confusing. The flyer also has the missing date of 8/30, and the article states that Deenah was last seen in early August.

According to public records, Deenah used to live in Montgomery, Alabama. It's mentioned in the article that she has family in Alabama, and that she wanted to go there. Prospect, OR to Montgomery, AL is 2500+ miles.

Is the boyfriend the caregiver?

Is the boyfriend the caregiver?

I wondered the same but they use female pronouns on the poster: "when she [alleged caregiver] came back to camp, she [Deenah] was gone".

The flyer has been updated to correct that she was with her boyfriend

Oh my goodnesss, you said it - very concerning.

From the links:

Padgett said her mother reported not feeling safe when they last spoke, around Aug. 10, and had been staying with some “people who weren’t real trustworthy.”

“We've recently learned that the people she was staying with have been stealing from her for many months. Her belongings have been found abandoned in the woods. We’re really worried,” Hancock told the Times on Wednesday.

Friends and family push for answers in case of still-missing grandmother

Nearly two months since Prospect resident Deenah Padgett last made contact with friends or family, law enforcement officials are hoping for some new leads in the investigation into her disappearance.

www.rv-times.com

Jackson County Search and Rescue Cmdr. Sgt. Shawn Richards, who said search and rescue crews have conducted at least 10 searches for Padgett, said he is hopeful that residents of Prospect will more readily share information with fellow community members than they have with law enforcement.

A handful of community members organized in recent weeks to search wooded areas and Padgett’s daughter, Alabama resident BH, traveled to Oregon to aid in a search last month.

Richards confirmed that Padgett’s boyfriend, who has not been publicly named, reported leaving Padgett at the campsite to go to work. When he returned later that day, she had left the campsite, which the boyfriend presumed was to return to her family on the East Coast.

So his first thought was she left to go back to family? Not she possibly went for a walk or headed to town, etc?
IMO, just up & leaving to return to the East Coast without telling her boyfriend wouldn’t be my first guess.

Another woman just wanders off, last seen by a boyfriend or spouse. Just like Barbara Thomas. Who was also 69 years old. RIP.

This is my first post and foray into sleuthing, so I’m hoping that I’m following the guidelines (and also don’t make a fool of myself In the process).

I’ve been reading everything I can find about this case, and between what the daughter stated, and also a friend of Deenah’s (who used to live in Prospect, and returned during the investigation) it seems that she fell into a bad crowd of people. The daughter said her mother felt unsafe, and that these people had been stealing from her for months. Her belongings were strewn about, but she had disappeared.

Deenah’s friend and the friend’s daughter (who currently lives in Prospect) describe that people are living at Deenah’s residence, who have no right to be there. This via Facebook. It’s been stated in the news that she possibly has dementia, so it’s likely that they’ve done something to Deenah for her money and house.

I did some background checks on her residence in Prospect. Two people are listed as currently living there, and very oddly, there are no ages, acquaintances, or any other normal bit of information. Fake IDs? Very strange. The next 4 people listed were people who up until recently have lived with her. All had lengthy criminal records including theft, drugs (and even manufacturing drugs) firearm charges, etc. More than a few people know what’s going on it seems.

Also, another woman is recently missing from a nearby area. April Larson is her name.
