She looks like she could be about the same age as Katrina and the fact that Katrina has had a series of strokes may have impacted her memory.

Family members of Katrina Williams - a mother and grandmother - say she would never just leave and not say a word.

From 2019
Detroit woman missing for more than a year after leaving home during argument
I wonder why this article says, Williams is in good physical and mental condition.
ETA: Several articles I found say this. It makes me wonder what the effects could be since she doesn't have her medication, and how much difficulty did she have walking after her strokes?

Mystery of missing woman continues over 7 years; family wants Detroit police to do more

Katrina was last seen at Joseph Campau south of I-94, where her house was. On January 17th, 2017 she got in an argument just after 6 p.m. Since then, nobody has seen her.

www.fox2detroit.com

She’s been missing for seven and a half years.

The family has theories — like she could be the victim of an ex-boyfriend, or even a serial rapist in the area at the time of her disappearance. But so far, there have been no answers.

Detroit police say there is no new information since 2017.

FOX 2: "What would you say to Detroit police?"

"They need to do their job, do more, Get out there and search more help us," she said.
