Bernice Taylor, a 60-year-old woman, was reported missing from Los Angeles, California, after the assisted living facility she was residing in was abruptly closed. Bernice was last seen on August 1, 2023, at an assisted living facility in Sylmar, located in the San Fernando Valley. Since the facility’s closure, her family has lost track of her whereabouts and does not know where she was relocated.
Authorities believe she may now be residing in another board and care facility somewhere in the Southern California region, but no specific information is available on her current location.
Bernice is described as a Black female, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing around 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She has distinctive tattoos, including a name on her chest and inner right arm, as well as the initials “AA KA BA JA” on her ankle. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit has been actively investigating her case, but extensive searches have not yet yielded results. They are urgently seeking the public’s help in locating Bernice and have encouraged anyone with information to reach out to the LAPD Missing Persons Unit at (213) 996-1800, or to contact L.A. Crime Stoppers anonymously.
The circumstances of Bernice’s disappearance are particularly concerning due to the disorganized closure of the assisted living facility, which has left her family in the dark about where she may be living now. Authorities have asked for community assistance in sharing any details that could lead to locating her safely. If anyone has any information regarding Bernice Taylor's whereabouts, they are encouraged to contact local law enforcement to assist in this ongoing investigation.Last Seen: Aug 1, 2023
