TPD seeking Locust Grove woman who went missing after release from Tulsa hospital

Jeffie Joann Hodge, 50, has not been in contact with her family since May 9 when she was released from Hillcrest Medical Center after a hospitalization. Hodge was seen leaving the hospital on her own, Det. Matt Farrell said.

Hodge reportedly has complications with seizures and is likely not taking her medications. She is described as a 5-foot-1 white woman who weighs 115 pounds.

Goodness, she's tiny: 5-foot-1, 115 pounds.

I hope she's found OK. I get a grim feeling about this. That intersection at 11th and Utica is also at the intersection of a variety of potentially bad experiences, especially if she's not familiar with the area.

Tulsa police ask for help in finding woman who hasn't been seen since May

"Hodge is not from the Tulsa area, and doesn't have family or friends in the area.

"She was last seen in the area of 11th and Utica."

The last time she was seen was at an intersection immediately outside the downtown/midtown hospital.

Some of those streets almost immediately join major highways into and out of the city. Eleventh Street is also a portion of historic Route 66.

I lived within a couple miles of this hospital for many years, and while there are some nice and older homes and neighborhoods around it, there is also a lot of foot traffic and a higher number than average population of homeless and mentally ill.

The University of Tulsa is a couple-ish miles to the east. It's a quality private college with an esteemed law school. Historic Oaklawn Cemetery a mile-ish to the west. A little north east, actually immediately west and north of TU, is a pocket of gang and related criminal activity.

This may or may not be of any relevance: There is also at least one, if not two or three (I think one closed in the past five years?) residential "halfway houses" of sorts for folks with criminal histories, who are undergoing serious mental health treatment (paranoid schizophrenia, etc.), and who often have been homeless — one was close to that intersection.

Many clients would "hang out" at the QuikTrip on that very corner where she was last seen.

Again, it might not be relevant. There's a possibility that she went to the QuikTrip to call and/or wait for a cab or a ride ... someone might have offered to help her. Or, if she had a car, she might have offered to help someone else if she stopped there.

I have a couple of personal experiences during my years living in some of these otherwise charming and historic surrounding neighborhoods that, just thinking about this woman, make me genuinely concerned for her.
