Myrtle Creek Police are still seeking help from the public as they seek to find a McMinnville woman who has been missing for nearly a month.

Detective Kevin Taggart said 69-year-old Kathleen Wilson remains missing and endangered. Taggart said it was reported that Wilson had been on her way to visit a friend in Chiloquin when she ended up staying at the Millsite RV Park in Myrtle Creek for a short time. Wilson was driving a maroon 2012 Chevrolet Cruz, with Oregon license plate number 747EDB. Taggart said the investigation showed that Wilson left Myrtle Creek shortly after 6:00 a.m. on Monday, August 5th. Her vehicle was last seen passing the Dry Creek area on Highway 138E at approximately 7:35 a.m. that morning. Her vehicle has not been seen or captured on video since.

Taggart said multiple law enforcement agencies, as well as fire crews and the Oregon Department of Transportation have assisted in the search for Wilson. MCPD is still working with agencies in other counties on the investigation. Taggart said MCPD will be checking with Oregon State Police this week for an update on the likelihood that a search by plane could be productive.

Residents are asked to share information about Wilson and her vehicle, especially to people heading out to spend time in the forest areas. A more recent photo of Wilson is posted with this story at www.541radio.com
