| On the evening of March 6, 2023 Glenda J. Summey was reported missing to the Kingsport Policed Department. She reportedly suffers from dementia and does not communicate well. She was last seen at around 5:00 PM this evening at a condominium in the 200 block of Willowbend Lane in Kingsport. She is believed to have wandered off on foot.
While foul play is not suspected, due to her advanced age and diminished capacity, every possible effort is being made to locate her as soon as possible. A search is currently in progress. An automated emergency communication message has already been distributed throughout the area, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (T.B.I.) will be assisting K.P.D. by issuing a Silver Alert as soon as that process can be completed. Ms. Summey is a 79 year old white female adult. She has blue eyes and gray hair. She is 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. She was last seen wearing pink pants, an unknown color shirt, and gray slide on shoes. Photographs of her are included with this release.
