Search teams have been looking for 88-year-old Myrtle Polk, who was last seen June 8. Her family and friends say they are holding onto hope that she will be found safe.
A community has spent days looking for any trace of a missing Oak Cliff woman.It’s been 16 days since anyone has seen Philip Polk’s mother, a longtime Oak Cliff area resident."My gut tells me she’s waiting to be found," Philip said.Myrtle’s vehicle is also missing: a 2004 Lexus ES 330 sedan.Myrtle’s son and daughter-in-law came in from Atlanta to coordinate the efforts of dozens of volunteers while manning communication from her Singing Hills neighborhood home.
The following day, Myrtle didn’t make it to church, prompting concern among some close friends and church members who have keys to her house."They’ll just come in and kind of check on her," Philip said. "So when they didn’t see her on Sunday, they came by, and it’s not uncommon for her to be gone to Walmart. So they didn’t think much about it."By Monday, friends discovered Myrtle’s car was not in the garage late at night. That’s when they contacted Philip.
