Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
The Portales woman with Alzheimer’s, missing since July 13, was found dead late Wednesday morning, Roosevelt County Sheriff Javier Sanchez said.
“Family members … located her on the opposite side of the railroad tracks from (U.S.) 70. It’s like a little ditch area,” Sanchez said.
Mary Stinnett, 58, was found “relatively near where she was last seen,” the sheriff said.
Sanchez said searchers flew a drone over the area several times but had no luck locating Stinnett.
The sheriff said he did not immediately have any additional information.
