FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – A Florida family has traveled to Georgia to search for Katrice Simmons, a 59-year-old woman who vanished after moving to the state in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
A Florida family is searching for 59-year-old Katrice Simmons after she relocated to Georgia in April to live with a man she met online.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Family members say they were allegedly residing at an apartment off Lanier Street NW in Fulton County, but no one has heard from Simmons since May 19.<\/p>\n
Simmons regularly checks in with her relatives, making her disappearance unusual and her daughter noted that she sounded in distress during their final conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The family has actively searched area hospitals, jails and other facilities across Georgia, but she has not been found.<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
Authorities and family members do not know the location of Simmons, her belongings, her phone or her vehicle. She was driving a black Chevrolet Equinox that had a missing rear window.<\/p>\n
Although her family spoke with the man Simmons moved to Georgia to live with, he stated that he does not know where she is located. Her phone remains turned off.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
“All we want to know is where she is, where is her car, where is her phone, where her belongings are. She had to use a U-Haul truck to get from Florida to get to here,” said Felicia Pettiway, Simmons’ sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What you can do:<\/p>\n
Anyone who has information regarding the whereabouts of Katrice Simmons or her vehicle is asked to contact the Atlanta Police Department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
