Baltimore police seek missing 72-year-old woman, neighbors plan search
Police continued searching for Darlene Campbell after she vanished from East 28th Street, while neighbors organized a June 28 search at King and Kennedy Park.
Baltimore police continued looking for 72-year-old Darlene Campbell after she was reported missing from the 300 block of East 28th Street on June 18. Investigators released video showing Campbell walking very slowly down a street, and neighbors planned a search of the area to help find her.
Campbell was last seen wearing a white and gold turban, a white shirt and blue khakis. Police asked anyone with information to call detectives at 410-361-9929 or dial 911.
The community response was set to begin at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 28, at King and Kennedy Park, underscoring how quickly a missing-senior case can shift beyond a police alert into a block-by-block search. East 28th Street puts the case in a dense stretch of Baltimore where familiar sidewalks, front steps and storefront corners can matter as much as formal canvassing.
Cases involving older adults are often urgent because a short delay can make it harder to track movement, recognize distress or reach someone who may be disoriented. In this case, the video and clothing description gave residents specific details to watch for, turning ordinary neighborhood routines into a search for one person in particular.
Baltimore police maintain a Missing Persons policy marked active on the department’s website, along with public crime-statistics and open-data pages that let residents review reported incidents and other citywide information. Those public tools sit alongside the immediate call for help in Campbell’s case: a name, a block, a description and a request for anyone with even a small lead to come forward fast.
