A vigil will be held Monday night for a coffee shop owner who has been missing for two months.<\/p>\n
Amy Hillyard, 52, co-owner of Farley’s coffee shops, was last seen on March 25 in two Oakland locations: first in the 500 block of Radnor Road in the Cleveland Heights neighborhood about 2 p.m., and then she was spotted on video at Dimond Park at about 4:30 p.m., according to police.<\/p>\n
A March 31 search of Dimond Park was carried out by OPD along with the Alameda, Contra Costa and Marin county sheriff’s offices, and 60 of Hillyard’s friends, family and volunteers.<\/p>\n
Hillyard is described as white, 5 feet 4 inches tall, 120 pounds, with blond hair and hazel eyes. Her clothing is said to be light blue jeans, a white shirt, and white tennis shoes with black stripes, according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
She is considered to be at-risk because of medical conditions, police said.<\/p>\n
On Monday, a “Vigil of Hope & Awareness for Amy Hillyard” will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. at Mandana Plaza Park, 600 Mandana Blvd. in Oakland.<\/p>\n
The vigil is also being held to mark National Missing Persons Month and the hundreds of missing Bay Area individuals who go missing each year–and their families who are grieving.<\/p>\n
