The San Francisco Police are reaching out to the public to help find Carmen Aleman, a 78-year-old woman who has been missing since early Tuesday. Last seen on the 100 block of Lexington Street at around 5:30 a.m., Aleman's disappearance has raised concerns due to her condition; she suffers from Alzheimer's disease and is considered at-risk. The San Francisco Police Department described Aleman as a Hispanic female, standing 5-foot-3, weighing 150 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. When she went missing, she was dressed in a gray and black sweater paired with black pants.
Authorities encourage anyone who might see Aleman to immediately call 911, providing her current location and physical description. More elusive details have also been grafted into the search effort, as Aleman faces language barriers—she primarily speaks Spanish and has limited English proficiency. A photograph of the missing woman has been circulated alongside a public appeal for assistance.
The police department's Missing Person Unit has provided a tip line at 1-415-575-4444 for anyone with information on Aleman’s whereabouts. They also accept tips sent via text message to TIP411; individuals should start the text with "SFPD" to provide their information. These lines are open to those who wish to remain anonymous and offer any details that might help reunite Aleman with her family.
People residing in or around where Aleman was last sighted are particularly urged to stay vigilant and report any potential sightings. The case number for this incident is 240-145-741, and the San Francisco Police Department has provided an online resource that can be accessed via a Facebook post, making it easier to share Aleman's photo and information widely.
