The Raleigh Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in locating Martha Louise Cotrufo, last seen on September 25, after checking out of Wake Med hospital. The 60-year-old local resident is known to frequent the bus system for transportation throughout Raleigh. Concerns have risen due to her sudden disappearance and the absence of any known contact with family or friends since the mentioned date.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Cotrufo's whereabouts, to contact the Raleigh Police Department at 919-996-1315. Details surrounding her disappearance remain scarce, but the police have emphasized the importance of community engagement in cases of missing persons, Ms. Cotrufo's included. As a common transit user, it is possible that fellow riders or commuters may have seen her or know of her current location. The police have been combing through bus routes and stops she may have used, with the hope that surveillance footage or witness accounts will shed light on her movements post-hospital check-out.
In a social media post by the Raleigh Police Department, they provided a basic description of Martha Cotrufo at the time of her disappearance. They did not, however, provide any additional details that may indicate her state of mind, or health, at the time she went missing. The department's message is clear: they are seeking any tip, no matter how small, that could lead to finding Ms. Cotrufo.
