Clayton County police are actively searching for two individuals with serious mental health conditions, having both disappeared under concerning circumstances. According to Atlanta News First, the first individual, Lewis Copeland, was last spotted near the 6400 block of Boca Raton Court in Forest Park at approximately 5 p.m. last Thursday. Copeland is living with schizophrenia and is currently off his medication.
Copeland has been described as wearing a black jacket, cream pants, and red slide-on shoes. Officials are concerned about the well-being of the missing man and request that anyone who sees Copeland immediately contact emergency services or dial the Clayton County Police Department at 770-477-3550.
Meanwhile, a Mattie's Call, which is Georgia's emergency missing alert for disabled or elderly persons, has been issued for a young Jonesboro woman. Lynn Sequoia, 19, has not been seen since January 7th, when she departed Braxley Way in Jonesboro using an Uber. WSBTV reports that Sequoia has diagnoses of paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, adding layers to the concern of her whereabouts.
Afflicted with paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Sequoia stands 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 184 lbs, has brown hair and eyes, and was last seen wearing a black hoodie, and dark jeans with a design on them, and often dons a black skull cap. The authorities urge those with any information about Sequoia's location to not hesitate to contact the Clayton County Police Department at the same number provided for Copeland: 770-477-3550.
