Earnestine Edwards, a 63-year-old woman, was reported missing from San Diego, California, in the spring of 2020. She was last seen on April 1, 2020, in the 4700 block of Beech Street. Edwards, who suffered from memory loss and was believed to be in the early stages of dementia, was a resident of the Encanto neighborhood. Concerns for her well-being were heightened due to her medical condition.
Authorities described Edwards as a Black female, standing 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, it was noted that she was known to utilize public transportation, such as the bus and trolley systems, but also frequently traveled on foot. She had family and friends in the City Heights and Downtown San Diego areas, which were also considered places she might frequent. The San Diego Police Department issued a public call for assistance in locating her.
While there were no public updates regarding her being found, an obituary was published for an Earnestine Edwards of San Diego, who was born on April 24, 1956, and passed away on May 4, 2022. This would have made her 63 years old at the time of the disappearance, aligning with the age of the missing woman. The obituary described her as a lifelong resident of San Diego and a loving mother, sister, and grandmother who enjoyed cooking, music, and being with her family. Although the obituary does not explicitly state that this is the same Earnestine Edwards who was reported missing, the matching age, name, and location strongly suggest a connection. The circumstances of her death were not detailed in the obituary.Last Seen: Apr 1, 2020
