Police seek public’s help in locating missing 59-year-old woman

The Edmonton Police Service is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a 59-year-old female last seen in southeast Edmonton last night (Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2015).

Kathleen Clemo, 59, was reported missing to police today (Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2015). It is reported Clemo left her residence in the area of 37 Street and 34A Avenue sometime between midnight and 6 a.m. today. She does not have access to a vehicle and may be using public transit.

There is concern for Clemo’s well-being because she suffers from a medical condition that makes her prone to becoming confused and disorientated. She requires medication that she did not have on her when she went missing. Clemo’s disappearance is out of character.

    

Kathleen Clemo, 59

Kathleen Clemo is described as a Caucasian female, approximately 5’3” tall, 160 lbs., with short, thin grey hair. She wears glasses and may be wearing blue jeans and a brown shirt.

Anyone who has information about this missing person is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at http://ift.tt/1az8Eve.
