Authorities in Jefferson County are continuing their search for a missing Vedic City woman who was last seen Friday night.
Seventy five year old Mary Anne Falk was last seen just before 10 p.m. on March 6 leaving her residence on foot in the 1700 block of Jupiter Avenue in Vedic City. Her direction of travel is unknown.
Falk is described as approximately five feet two inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds. She was last seen wearing yellow pants, a white T shirt, and purple and pink shoes.
Jefferson County Sheriff Bart Richmond said Monday morning that search efforts are ongoing as authorities continue organizing additional search areas outside of locations that have already been checked.
On Sunday afternoon, an aircraft from the Iowa State Patrol conducted a flyover of the Vedic City area using thermal imaging technology as part of the search effort. As of late Sunday afternoon, Falk had not yet been located.
Officials had earlier asked anyone involved in search efforts or in the surrounding area to remain in their vehicles while the aircraft conducted its sweep.
Anyone with information about Mary Anne Falk’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 641-472-3576.
Authorities say they will continue to provide updates as the search progresses.
