Missing woman from Hilyard Street sought

An independent living facility contacted Eugene Police after one of its residents was not located on premises since 6:30 p.m. yesterday, January 15. Staff was unable to locate her this morning and EPD is reaching out for tips on her whereabouts.

Peggy Sue Hay is described as a 76-year-old white female, 5`07" tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds, with shoulder length grey hair and blue eyes. She was possibly wearing a black and white speckled fabric coat. She likely had her purse and cell phone. She moved into the facility on January 11 and is unfamiliar with the area, having come from Nevada.

Eugene Police has been searching for Hay to make sure of her welfare. Her phone last pinged near Hilyard Community Center, 2580 Hilyard Street, but after a search, she was not located there. It is possible Hay took a bus out of the area, or checked into a hotel, but her capacity to do so is not clear at this time as she appeared to be struggling cognitively.

The attached photos are about five years old.

If anyone has information on her whereabouts, they are asked to call the EPD non-emergency line at 541.682.5111
