Authorities are searching for the owner of\u00a0Farley\u2019s, a popular coffee shop with locations in downtown Oakland and San Francisco, who was reported missing on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amy Hillyard, the 52-year-old co-owner of the business, was last seen near Oakland\u2019s Cleveland Heights neighborhood on the 500 block of\u00a0Radnor Road, according to the Oakland Police Department<\/a>. Hillyard, who stands 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds, was wearing a tan-colored top and pants. She has blond hair and hazel eyes, police said.<\/p>\n

Hillyard is considered \u201cat risk\u201d because of her medical conditions, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about her whereabouts\u00a0is urged to call OPD\u2019s Missing Persons Unit at 510-238-3641.\u00a0<\/p>\n

OPD and Farley\u2019s did not have information about what may have led to Hillyard\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n

In a statement to\u00a0SFGATE, the business said, \u201cOur hearts go out to Amy and her family and friends during this difficult time. She has been a passionate and active member of the Oakland community for 20+ years. We hope that she returns safely and we appreciate any information.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Oakland location was also the center of controversy last year<\/a> when anti-Zionist graffiti was found in the shop\u2019s restroom and several employees were fired.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities are searching for the owner of\u00a0Farley\u2019s, a popular coffee shop with locations in downtown Oakland and San…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144,1692],"class_list":["post-239617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-sfgnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
