Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office assists in search for missing Piercy woman

PIERCY, CA. (KIEM) – The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team is currently looking for 76-year old Margit Prichard of Piercy.

Prichard was last seen on Friday afternoon near the 1300 of Pepperwood Springs Road in Piercy.

Authorities say she may suffer from dementia like symptoms, and may be confused.

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is assisting in the search, and is asking for your help, too.

“We’ve deployed our Sheriff’s Office ATVs to search for her. This is a rural area, as much of Humboldt and Mendocino counties are. They are also going door to door to collect information. She is known to walk to Benbow, which is far. She is in shape, and known to walk so she could be anywhere in the surrounding area,” said Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer, Samantha Karges.

Prichard is just over five feet tall, about 110 pounds, and has gray hair and blue eyes.

If you see her or have any information, you should contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 463-4086.
