may be in downtown Phoenix Arizona

To everyone who reads this,

My name is Miranda Nicole Rhuda. I am 25 years old and I am from
Ohio. In 1996, my mother Joyce Darlene Patterson, age 53, went
missing from Ohio. She is 5 ft. tall, 117 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes.

Since that time, I have found public records with her name and date
of birth listed online. She is in Phoenix (somewhere). The last address
given to the police in September 2007, was 813 W. Madison Street.
When I looked at this address online through the Google, it does not
look to me as though there is anywhere for her to really live at that address.

I believe that she may be homeless. She may be a drifter. She is an
alcoholic and has had very serious mental issues in the past. I
really need to find her for various reasons but mostly so
that I can get her off the streets and get her treatment.

I am enclosing pictures of her. I would appreciate any help that
you may be able to give me. If you or anyone else, has any information,
please call me at 567-219-0095. I can also be reached by mail at the
following: Miranda N. Rhuda, 415 Dewey Street, Sandusky, Ohio, 44870.

Thank you and God Bless, Miranda Rhuda
