Austin Police Seek Help In Locating Elderly Woman

AUSTIN, TX — Police are seeking help from the public in locating an elderly woman who went missing after last being seen at the HEB Central Market in North Austin.

In a press advisory, police said Susan Weber, 72, remained in the car while her husband entered the HEB Central Market at 4001 N. Lamar Boulevard around 10 a.m. on Wednesday. When the man returned to the car, police said, both Weber and the vehicle were gone.

Concern over the woman's welfare is heightened given her medical issues and reliance on an oxygen tank that had a mere three-hour supply remaining, police noted. Police said the woman could be in a maroon-colored Mazda CX5 with Texas license plate JGH214. Police added the husband is in possession of the car's key fob, meaning that the woman wouldn't be able to restart the car if needed.

Weber is described as a white woman standing at five feet, seven inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. She has gray/brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to call 911 or the APD Missing Persons Unit at (512) 974-5250 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) Those with information also can submit tips by downloading APD’s mobile app, Austin PD, for free on iPhone and Android.
