Found Deceased PA - Nicole Font, 49, last seen walking in Downtown Warren, 14 March 2021

[anonypotomous]

49-year-old Nicole Font was last seen on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. walking in Downtown Warren from Main Street to Second Avenue, headed to a meeting at the DeFrees Building.
Lisa Font, Nicole’s sister, says it is extremely difficult for their family, especially Nicole’s 14-year-old son.

“Please come home, your family loves you, and we miss you, we are just so worried,” pleaded Lisa Font in an interview with WNY News Now on Wednesday morning.
The Font Family has tried to retrace their sister’s steps, in an area making up less than a half mile of cityscape.

“We’ve been out looking, we’ve tried to trace her steps, we had flyers that have gone out, I had it on the Erie News last night, we’re trying to look to see if anybody has any video of the path, it is probably only less than a half mile, trying to see if anybody has any doorbell cams and trying to get any video from storefronts,” said Lisa Font. “From Main Avenue, she lives by the Warren General Hospital, to Second Avenue.”

In addition to the call for security video, Lisa Font wants the Warren Police Department to use K-9s to search the area in question.

Nicole Font is 5’ 2” and about 110 pounds with red hair and blue eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Warren Police at (814) 723-2700.

There is a support group that meets there on Sunday nights at 8pm.
How awful for her son when his mom didn’t return. Wondering if Warren is considered to be safe to walk at night in that area?

In order to get to 2nd avenue from Main you have to cross the Allegheny River on a bridge. That's not good if it was dark out.

River search yields no results in missing person cases | News, Sports, Jobs - Times Observer
A “thorough” search of the Allegheny River on Friday and Saturday in connection with two missing person cases did not yield any results.

City of Warren Police Chief Joe Sproveri said that nothing was found and that any rumors to the contrary are “false.”

“Our information on Mr. Nelson, all avenues pointed to him being in the river,” he said. “We were able to rule out many possibilities for Ms. Font.”

On Friday, Rosie Marketing LLC’s drone worked with city police and fire.

The New York State resources assisted on Saturday – including the dive team’s sonar capabilities as well as cadaver dogs with the NY State Police. The Glade VFD boat also followed the Jamestown PD drone.

“The incidents are unrelated and there is no suspected foul play,” Sproveri said, noting that the search will continue next week.

Found this, from a news report dated July 20, 2019. On July 11, 2019 she was charged with a DUI and driving an unregistered vehicle.

While getting a DUI (in my opinion) does not necessarily equate having a drinking or substance abuse problem, it could be an indication of one. I’m wondering if it could be a factor in her disappearance.
