MERLENE HAYES
BLACK FEMALE, DOB: 06/27/38
HEIGHT: 5' 07" WEIGHT: 170
SHORT GRAYING HAIR
MOLE ON BRIDGE OF NOSE

On April 26, 1994, family members of Merlene Hayes reported her missing to the Leon County Sheriff's Office. While no specific reports could be confirmed, she was reportedly seen at various locations in the southern part of the city several days after she last had contact with her family. Hayes requires medication that could cause her to become disoriented if she does not take it on a regular basis. The lack of this medication could also cause her to not be able to recall her name or other pertinent identifying information.

If you have any information or questions regarding the disappearance of Merlene Hayes, please contact the Leon County Sheriff's Office Crimes Against Persons Unit at 850-922-3300.

Details of Disappearance

Hayes was last seen leaving her residence on Pepper Drive in Tallahassee, Florida on April 26, 1994. At 7:30 p.m., she told her daughter, Angela Harris, that she wanted to go for a walk for the second time that day. Haris did not want her to go because it was late, but Hayes left anyway. She has never been heard from again, although there were unconfirmed sightings of her in the local area in the days and weeks after her disappearance.
Harris stated her mother disappeared once before and was found in Marianna, Florida three days later. Harris did not report Hayes missing for six days after her April 1994 disappearance as a result of her going missing previously. She stated it was uncharacteristic of her mother to be out of touch with the family for this long. Hayes's case remains unsolved.
