The Snellville community is on high alert as police continue their search for 65-year-old Amelia Clark, who was last seen nearly two weeks ago sleeping in a U-Haul at the Piedmont Eastside South Campus on Fountain Drive. Clark, described as having early onset dementia and other unmedicated mental health conditions, is considered vulnerable and in need of assistance. The U-Haul she was using featured an Arizona license plate, numbered AH41453, according to WSBTV.
A relative, who had seen Clark sleeping in the vehicle on April 8, reported her and the truck missing the next day, April 9. This family member stressed to the police that Clark is capable of self-care when given prompts or following notes, a detail which may give hope to those searching. In response, authorities have issued a Mattie's Call – an emergency alert for missing disabled or elderly persons in Georgia – as Clark is without a phone, or an ID, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
Police are intensifying their efforts to locate Clark and are urging the public to come forward with any relevant information. The urgency of finding Clark is underscored by her condition and lack of medication, which could exacerbate her vulnerability. Local officials and concerned citizens are keeping a lookout for the missing U-Haul and any sign of Clark's whereabouts.
Anyone with information that might lead to Amelia Clark's location is strongly encouraged to contact law enforcement. The Snellville dispatch center can be reached at 770-985-3555.
