Edna Keithley was 64 years old when she was reported missing from Smyrna, Delaware, in June 2020. Online case summaries identify her as a White woman, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing approximately 100 to 115 pounds, with graying black or gray/partially gray hair and brown eyes. She wore eyeglasses, had pierced ears, and had tattoos on both upper arms. The Charley Project lists her clothing at the time as a red and white shirt, jeans, and black or dark navy blue Skechers sneakers.
According to The Charley Project and a June 19, 2020 report from 47abc/WMDT, Edna was last seen walking away from her residence toward the town limits of Smyrna on June 10, 2020. The Charley Project states that she has not been heard from since, and that she was not reported missing until June 19. Uncovered and NamUs-related listings show a date of June 8, 2020, so some public sources differ on the exact date of last contact; however, the most detailed narrative sources available online describe June 10, 2020 as the date she was last seen walking away from home.
Delaware State Police issued a Gold Alert for Edna after she disappeared. Gold Alerts are used in Delaware when there is concern for a missing person’s safety or wellbeing, and in Edna’s case, public reporting said police were seeking help locating her after she left the area of her residence. The initial public alert described her as 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 116 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and asked anyone with information to contact police or Delaware Crime Stoppers.
Very few circumstances have been made public about what happened before or after Edna walked away from her residence. The available online sources do not describe a confirmed destination, a known companion, a vehicle, a medical explanation, or any verified sighting after she was last seen. The Charley Project notes only that few details are available in her case, leaving her family and community with limited answers and a painful uncertainty about what became of her.
No attached case-resolution data indicates that Edna Keithley has been found alive or located deceased, and the online sources reviewed continue to list her case as missing. Based on the available public information, her case remains an unresolved missing person case. Anyone with information about Edna’s whereabouts or what happened to her is directed in public sources to contact Delaware State Police Troop 3 at 302-697-4454; earlier reporting also listed Troop 9 at 302-378-5218 and Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.Last Seen: Jun 10, 2020
