The search continues for a missing 19-year-old woman from the Clayton County area, as local police intensify their efforts following her mysterious disappearance earlier this week. Lynn Sequoia, diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, was last seen around 1 p.m. on January 7 after boarding a rideshare vehicle from her place of residence on Braxley Way in Jonesboro, as Clayton County Police Department reported.
Sequoia, who was reportedly headed to an address on North Main Street in Jonesboro, has triggered a Mattie's Call, an emergency missing alert for disabled or elderly persons in Georgia. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the young woman's mental health conditions add an extra layer of urgency to the search efforts. Last seen in a black hoodie and dark jeans, Sequoia carries a distinct profile at 5-feet-8-inches tall and weighing 184 pounds and is known to often wear a black skull cap.
Clayton County police, confirming her description, added that Sequoia is Black with brown eyes and black hair. Differing from earlier reports, they note she was last observed wearing a black sweatshirt, black shorts, and black shoes, details gleaned from Atlanta News First. They have issued a statement encouraging the public to stay vigilant and to contact authorities immediately if they spot her.
Given the winter season, concerns have been raised around Sequoia's well-being, considering she might have been dressed insufficiently against the cold weather. The expectations of the police are that she might be traveling on foot. Anyone with information that can aid police to trace Lynn Sequoia's steps is encouraged to come forward by contacting the Clayton County Police Department at 770-477-3550 or by dialing 911 upon sighting her.
