The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is seeking assistance from the community, putting out a call to any individuals who may have seen or have information pertaining to the whereabouts of 23-year-old Keiyania Patterson, reported missing yesterday. In a statement obtained by WRTV, IMPD described Patterson as a woman standing 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and weighing 130 pounds, with distinctive brown and red braided hair often styled in a bun and brown eyes.
According to FOX 59, Patterson was last spotted in Indianapolis on South Norfolk Street around 5:45 p.m., after she had left her job on West Washington Street. She was wearing, what has now become a widely reported detail, a Papa John's shirt accompanied by jeans. As reported by FOX 59, if anyone comes into contact with Patterson – they should immediately call 911.
Further prompting local citizens to engage with the search, IMPD has emphasized the urgency of the public's role in these matters. Not to be underestimated, the insights or seemingly insignificant observations from the community can often break open what might seem impenetrable cases. WTHR details Patterson’s physical attributes as "5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 130 pounds and has red braided hair," noting that this information might aid those trying to identify her. Should anyone have information to share, they are encouraged to reach out to the IMPD Missing Persons Unit, detailed in a report by WTHR.
