BSO seeks tips to find missing 79-year-old Lauderdale Lakes woman
BSO is asking for tips to find 79-year-old Carol Lewis, last seen near Northwest 36th Way in Lauderdale Lakes on June 20.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office is asking for tips to find 79-year-old Carol Lewis, who was last seen around 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, near the 4300 block of Northwest 36th Way in Lauderdale Lakes. Detectives with the agency’s Missing Persons Unit issued the public alert on June 27 and said Lewis is about 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs about 120 pounds, and has white hair and blue eyes.
The case carries added urgency in Lauderdale Lakes, where seniors make up a significant share of the population. The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 count put the city at 35,954 residents, and 19.4% were 65 or older. In a South Florida summer, a missing 79-year-old woman can face real risk quickly, especially if she has been out of contact for more than a week.
BSO’s recent missing-person notices show that Lauderdale Lakes has seen a steady stream of similar searches this month. One recent case involved an 84-year-old man who was later located on June 18, and other Lauderdale Lakes missing-person alerts were also posted in June. That pattern has kept the Missing Persons Unit active in the city and has made neighborhood awareness especially important around Northwest 36th Way and nearby streets.
How to help: Anyone with information about Carol Lewis should contact BSO Missing Persons Detective Chris Blankenship at 954-321-4268 or call the BSO non-emergency line at 954-764-HELP, which is 4357. Detectives are asking anyone who saw Lewis, or who may know where she went after June 20, to call right away.
