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
