Details of Disappearance​

Elkow was last seen at her residence in the 6700 block of Weymouth Road, between Black Horse Pike and Mizpah Road, in Mays Landing, New Jersey at 4:00 p.m. on March 28, 2019. She has never been heard from again.

She didn't have a car and would walk for long distances to get where she wanted to go; she loved nature and walked so much she had created trails, lined with rocks in the sixteen acres of woods behind her home. She didn't own a cellular phone and didn't have any medical or tracking devices with her when she went missing.

An extensive search of the area turned up no indication of Elkow's whereabouts. At the time of her disappearance, she had a live-in home health aide and her family was in the process of making changes to her living arrangements. Her case remains unsolved.
