TAMPA — A 73-year-old woman is missing after dropping off her daughter at a local church Sunday morning, police said.
Cora Lee Hires gave her daughter a ride to church at Spruce and Albany Streets, and family members told police she planned to visit her brother at Whispering Oaks Nursing Home.
Family members said this is her usual Sunday routine, but this Sunday she didn't visit her brother or return to pick up her adult daughter. The family told police that Hires might be in the early stages of dementia.
Hires drives a red 2005 Saturn Ion with license plate No. Q827VD. Police said she was last seen wearing a multicolored shirt and blue pants.
Anyone with information about Hires should call Tampa Police at (813) 231-6130.
