Concern is mounting for a 37-year-old woman, Marla Aurellia Drew, reported missing from Dania Beach. Drew was last seen near the 800 block of East Dania About Beach Boulevard around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office Missing Persons Unit.

Drew is described as standing 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. However, detectives haven't specified what she was last wearing which complicates matters for those trying to spot her. Details of her disappearance are still scarce, and authorities are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
The Broward Sheriff's Office has reached out to the public for assistance, asking anyone who might have seen Drew or has knowledge of her whereabouts to contact BSO Detective Leonard Charla at 954-321-4274. Additionally, the general public can also call the BSO non-emergency number at 954-764-HELP (4357). These details were affirmed in a Missing Person alert posted on the official Broward Sheriff’s website.
The urgency of this search resonates in the call for community vigilance and awareness. As time passes, the concern for Drew's wellbeing grows. It is a collective hope that through the communal efforts of the public and law enforcement, she will be returned to the safety of her home. For now, the Broward Sheriff's Office and Drew's loved ones wait for a lead, a tip, or any piece of information that could help in her safe recovery.
