A Name That's Surfaced Before
A missing-person report published by KOZE in December 2022 described a Bernadette L. Chamberlin, then 48 years old, with matching height, weight, hair color, and eye color to the woman named in Tuesday's alert. That earlier report said the woman was last seen in Lewiston on a Friday evening wearing a blue oversized sweatshirt, plaid pajama bottoms, and white sneakers, and that she was believed to be on foot and in need of medication.
For now, the search for Chamberlin continues. Anyone with information on her location can call Lewiston Police at 208-746-0171.
