The Salem Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding a woman it described as missing and endangered.
Priscilla J. Aldana, 43, of Salem, was reported missing on Monday, Dec. 23.
She was last known to be in the area of Southeast Lancaster Drive and Southeast Hagers Grove Road around 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 20, Salem police said in a Friday news release.
Aldana is about 5‑feet, 8‑inches tall and has a slender build. She has black, curly hair and brown eyes.
“Priscilla left her minor children and is without medication which she needs,” according to the police statement.
Salem police asked anyone who sees Aldana to call the agency’s tip line at 503-588-8477.
“Several posters are circulating asking the public to call alternate phone numbers and email addresses,” agency spokeswoman Angela Hedrick said in the statement. “However, it is important that the public specifically call the Salem Police Tip Line so that the information is received by the detectives handling the case.”
