An 80-year-old woman has been confirmed missing in Oklahoma after she went looking for her 59-year-old son, who is also missing.
Glenda Parton, according to Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, was last seen in Turley, Oklahoma, with an unidentified man on Monday night.
Footage showed the octogenarian with an unknown man wearing jeans and a grey jumper with a “Trump won” camouflage baseball cap. He has since been named a person of interest in the case.
Ms Parton’s four-door red Kia Rio was found in Turley on Tuesday without its owner, on Highway 75 near the 56th Street exit. The car was on a side road.
On Wednesday, Pryor Creek Police Department issued a silver missing alert for Ms Parton, and anybody with information or a sighting are asked to call 911.
