The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is seeking help from the public as they attempt to locate 61-year-old Lori Sharman, who was reported missing at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Thursday, after family and friends were unable to reach her throughout the day.

A DCSO post said through the course of the investigation, deputies located video showing Sharman leaving her residence on foot Wednesday night at 11:55 p.m. She did not return and was last seen walking south on Carnes Road toward Castle Avenue in the Green District.

Sharman is described as 5 feet tall, 115 pounds with hazel eyes, and curly shoulder length blond hair. At the time she left, Sharman was wearing a maroon long-sleeved shirt with translucent sleeves, a black vest, cuffed blue jeans, and black and white sneakers. Sharman left her cell phone, wallet and credit/debit cards inside her residence.

DCSO said Sharman has a mental health diagnosis that may cause her to behave unpredictably. She reportedly walks with a limp.

Anyone who may have seen Sharman or who has information about her whereabouts is asked to contact DCSO at 440-4471. Residents and businesses in the surrounding area are also encouraged to check their surveillance camera footage and report any findings.
