READING, Pa. \u2013 A family is putting out a plea for help to find a missing woman with ties to Berks County. Carol Gemmiti went missing during a family vacation in New Hampshire 18 months ago.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know how I got home,” said Donald Gemmiti, Carol\u2019s husband. “I don’t remember coming into the house.”<\/p>\n
Donald Gemmiti recalled returning home to Florida after a nightmare vacation.<\/p>\n
“It was going to be a family reunion,” he said.<\/p>\n
During their time at a cottage in the quiet town of Ossipee, New Hampshire, Donald says his wife, Carol \u2014 a Birdsboro native \u2014 walked off, unseen and unheard.<\/p>\n
“I think she went for a walk with the intention of coming back because when she left, she didn’t have her phone. She had no money, no ID. Basically disappeared,” Gemmiti said.<\/p>\n
According to her husband, the then-66-year-old Carol was not familiar with the area.<\/p>\n
“I think she just wandered off. And we thought possibly the lake,” Gemmiti said.<\/p>\n
Search efforts have turned up empty. Neither K-9s nor sonar found any trace. Now, her devoted husband fears the worst.<\/p>\n
“Somebody could have stopped and possibly said, \u2018You want a ride?\u2019” Gemmiti said.<\/p>\n
Carol remains missing. Police say there are no new leads and they are contacting the FBI. As the weather warms, they prepare to search the lake again.<\/p>\n
“Carol, we miss you dearly, and we love you,” Gemmiti said.<\/p>\n
Donald says he’ll never give up hope that Carol will come home.<\/p>\n
“She was being treated for depression and anxiety, and she also, I believe, had some dementia,” Gemmiti said.<\/p>\n
Her spirit brought joy to all around her, especially during her time at Berks Encore.<\/p>\n
“Carol was a compassionate person that worked with seniors. She loved what she did,” Gemmiti said.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has information about Carol’s whereabouts is asked to contact police.<\/p>\n
“We want you to come home. We’re here for you as a family,” Gemmiti said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"READING, Pa. \u2013 A family is putting out a plea for help to find a missing woman with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,69932,69933,5575,4220,128,130,129],"class_list":["post-153966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-carol-gemmiti","tag-donald-gemmiti","tag-missing-woman","tag-new-hampshire","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
