Jacksonville police searching for missing woman; family hopes she will be found quickly

JACKSONVILLE, Ark. – Jacksonville police said 40-year-old LaTeshia Patillo was last seen in Jacksonville on the morning of Oct. 13.

Patillo’s family said she was walking with her daughter on Collins Road around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, not far from their home on Briar Ridge Court. A short time later, Patillo’s daughter returned home while Patillo continued walking.

When her mother didn’t come back, Patillo’s daughter called the police and her family began looking for her right away.

“I put out flyers on Sunday,” Patillo’s mom Sandra Patillo said “I did not wait for that 24 hours. For me, when you know that gut feeling as a parent or a mother and it’s a loved one – I didn’t wait.”

LaTeshia Patillo is described as standing 5’ 6” and weighing 160 pounds. She was last seen wearing a green shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Jacksonville Police Department at 501-982-3191 and reference report 24-05403.
