The Detroit community exhaled a collective sigh of relief as the Detroit Police Department confirmed that Sarah Booth, the 40-year-old woman reported missing earlier this week, has been found safe. The succinct notification came via social media, where the Detroit Police Department expressed their gratitude to the public for their assistance in the matter, simply stating, "Sarah Booth has been recovered. Thank you for your assistance." The announcement marked the resolution of a search that began after Booth disappeared from her home on the 1200 block of East Grand Blvd. on December 8.
Booth's description had been widely circulated in hopes of a clue to her whereabouts. She was last seen wearing a black jacket with green stripes, a white shirt, gray jogging pants, and tennis shoes, as reported by ClickOnDetroit. Booth, who stands at 5 feet 9 inches and weighs approximately 200 pounds, was also described as having black hair on the top and shaved sides, brown eyes, and a distinctive Old English "D" tattoo on her left inner forearm.
Before her safe recovery, concern was heightened due to Booth's mental health conditions. Her guardian had disclosed to authorities that she was living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. These details underscored the urgency of the search efforts as individuals with such conditions can be particularly vulnerable when missing. Interested parties were directed to contact the Detroit Police Department’s 7th Precinct or Crime Stoppers with any pertinent information that could have led to locating Booth.
