Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP113323)
In the city of Durham, North Carolina, a sense of concern grew within the community following the disappearance of 59-year-old Kathy Sue Witt. She was last seen on February 14, 2023. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing approximately 130 pounds, with red or auburn hair and green eyes. Ms. Witt had been temporarily staying at a residence in Durham when she left one evening and was not heard from again. The circumstances surrounding her departure raised immediate alarm among those who knew her.

The Durham Police Department was notified of Ms. Witt's disappearance and promptly began an investigation, officially filing a report on February 22, 2023. Recognizing the potential vulnerability of Ms. Witt, authorities issued a Missing Endangered Alert. This type of alert is typically activated when there is a belief that a missing individual may have a cognitive impairment, placing them at a higher risk. The alert was disseminated to the public with the hope that it would generate leads and assist in safely locating her. Law enforcement officials have been actively seeking any information from the public that could shed light on her whereabouts.

Despite the efforts of the Durham Police Department and the circulation of the missing person alert, information regarding Kathy Witt's location has remained scarce. Her case continues to be an open and active investigation, with authorities urging anyone with knowledge of her disappearance to come forward. The lack of significant leads has been a source of ongoing distress for her loved ones and the concerned community. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who go missing, leaving behind questions and a void in the lives of those who care for them. The investigation into what happened to Kathy Witt after she walked away that February evening continues.
