A Silver Alert is active for a 63-year-old Memphis woman who has not been seen since Tuesday. Lisa Adams was last spotted near Dobbins Ferry Avenue, and authorities say she has a medical condition that could make it hard for her to get home safely on her own.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued the alert, according to WZTV, which reported that Adams is missing out of Shelby County. The station describes her as 5 feet 3 inches tall, with gray hair and blue eyes. She was last seen Tuesday near Dobbins Ferry Avenue in Memphis, the outlet reported, and the TBI says her medical condition may impair her ability to return safely without help.

Anyone who spots Adams is asked to contact the Memphis Police Department at 901-545-2677 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND, per the same report.

A Silver Alert was also issued for Dianne Vasquez, 62, of Shelby County, according to Local 3 News. Vasquez, described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and 110 pounds with gray hair and brown eyes, was last seen at her daughter's house in the Calvert Avenue area of Memphis around 3 a.m. on a Friday, the outlet reported. Like Adams, Vasquez was said to have a medical condition that could impair her ability to return safely without assistance, and the public was asked to call Memphis Police at 901-636-4479 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
