SULLIVAN, Mo. — Months have gone by without any clues of a missing 69-year-old Sullivan woman.
Tonya Tolliver has been searching for her mom Betty Alexander since April 10.
"We just need another piece to this puzzle to put everything together and lead us to her," Tolliver said.
For the past three months, it's been restless nights filled with tremendous stress because there haven't been any leads.
But Tolliver finally has some insight after hiring a private investigator. A witness said he saw Betty in front of Sullivan's fire station Thursday, April 11, at 5 p,m. It's a block away from her home at the Center Street Apartments.
"She was wearing tan matching top matching bottoms like pajamas, he said. She was just standing in the middle of the road kind of frozen there staring at the fire station," Tolliver said.
But Betty went missing Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
"It adds more to the puzzle now, more questions where was she from Wednesday 7 p.m. after taking her medication to Thursday 5 p.m. Where did go after 5 p.m.? We are in the middle of town, it's a busy intersection, somebody had to of seen where she went," Tolliver tells us.
What troubles Tolliver the most was the condition that her mom seemed to be in when she was last seen. We're told she seemed terrorized and extremely scared.
Tolliver is now trying to solve this mystery, but most importantly, she's just trying to find her mom. She pleads, "Mom I love you I miss you, if you're out there, please come home. We all miss you."
Betty Alexander is 149 pounds and about five-foot tall.
If you happen to have any information, they are offering a $3,000 reward.
