Lawrence police are looking for Wanda Dyer, 74, who has been missing since Friday morning.
Family members last saw Dyer leaving her home on foot near Fifth and California streets, according to a social media post form the police department.
“She suffers from confusion and memory issues, according to her family,” police said in a news release.
Dyer may have been seen heading out of the Lawrence area, so police issued a silver alert on Tuesday evening.
“Lawrence Police have conducted an extensive search throughout the weekend, which continued Monday and today,” according to the Tuesday evening update. “City bus operators have been given her picture to distribute. Officers have searched the parks and made multiple visits to places she is known to frequent.”
Dyer was wearing a black jacket with a black fur collar and possibly carrying a backpack and a floral patterned bag, according to LPD. She is 5-foot-2 and typically wears a blue surgical mask when she’s out.
Police ask that anyone with information on her location call dispatch at 785-843-0250.
