MIRAMAR, Fla. – Police in Miramar asked for the public’s help Tuesday morning in locating a 75-year-old woman who they said was reported missing and endangered.
According to detectives, Rosa Richardson was last seen in the area of 6700 Camelia Drive in Miramar after 7 a.m. on Monday.
Investigators said she is known to visit the Publix, located at 6890 Miramar Pkwy.
Richardson is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs around 75 pounds, and was last seen wearing a black sweater with a white long sleeve shirt, gray pants and a tan/ brown purse.
Family members say it’s the first time she’s ever vanished like this.
“I’m just worried about her,” her son, Lamont Richardson, told Local 10 News. “Seventy-five years old. 75 years old, dementia I don’t know where she’s at. Nobody knows. She has no phone.”
Richardson said his mother had been complaining saying she needed to get to work.
She’s been retired for years from the North Miami-Dade Courthouse — on Biscayne Boulevard near Northeast 151st Street.
Rosa Richardson is also known to frequent a Publix on Miramar Parkway and Southwest 68th Avenue near her home.
The thought she may spend Christmas Eve and day on the streets is too much to bear for her son.
“I’m her only child so this is not easy,” he said. “Right now if you ask me what I want for Christmas? My mom.”
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to call Miramar police at 954-602-4252..
