Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP141177) and 4 other sources
Wanda Dyer, a 74-year-old woman from Lawrence, Kansas, has been missing since March 21, 2025. She was last seen in Eudora, Kansas, on the evening of the same day. Wanda, who suffers from dementia, left her home on foot that morning, leaving a note for her husband, David Dyer, stating she was going to pay an AT&T bill. She was later spotted at a Bank of America in Lawrence, but without identification or a debit card, she was unable to withdraw money. Surveillance footage captured her walking toward Eudora later that day, and her family believes she may have been heading toward Kansas City, where she has personal ties.

Wanda is described as 5-foot-2, weighing 117 pounds, and was last seen wearing a black coat with pink lining, multicolored pants, a black backpack, and a blue surgical mask. Her family has expressed deep concern for her well-being, as her dementia has worsened significantly in recent months. David Dyer, who has been married to Wanda for 46 years, has shared that she is a fast walker and has a history of becoming disoriented. Community-led searches have been organized, and local authorities, including the Lawrence Police Department and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, are actively investigating her disappearance.

Despite extensive search efforts, including the involvement of EquuSearch Midwest, there have been no confirmed sightings of Wanda since March 21. Flyers have been distributed, and a Facebook group called "Bring Wanda Home" has been created to coordinate updates and search efforts. Her family and community remain hopeful but are deeply worried about her safety, given her condition and the lack of recent leads.
