ATLANTA - A 25-year-old woman named Victoria Harris is missing, according to Atlanta Police.
What we know:
Harris was last seen leaving Piedmont Hospital around 9:20 a.m. May 16.
At around 1 a.m. May 17, police responded to a missing person call from the 1900 block of Peachtree Road NW.
Harris is 5-feet-5-inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. She has short, brown dreadlocks. She was wearing dark blue overalls with a black shirt underneath at the time she was last seen. She did not have any shoes on at the time.
What they're saying:
According to a representative for the family, Harris is several months pregnant and suffering from a mental disorder. She reportedly went to the hospital for psychiatric help and expected to be sent to a long-term psychiatric facility. Instead, she was reportedly discharged because of her pregnancy. Her family believes she is in danger.
Victoria's sister Bethea said she was discharged without her phone, identification, or access to public transportation and other support services, which has only increased the family's concern.
"It’s very frightening, knowing that she’s pregnant with a growing baby and she doesn’t have the care that she needs," Bethea told FOX 5. "She should be taking prenatal vitamins, knowing that she went into the hospital with her feet injured, knowing that she doesn’t have a MARTA card or debit card, it’s very scary not to know where she is."
Victoria's family says she suffers from intense delusions and hallucinations and often struggles to recognize where she is. She may also be unaware of the date or time.
What you can do:
If any information is known about her whereabouts, please contact 911 or the Atlanta Police Homicide/Adult Missing Persons Unit at 404-546-4235.
