Bixby Police and the Volunteers of America of Oklahoma have issued a call for help in the case of a missing woman.

They say the 26-year-old, developmentally disabled woman went missing some time after 6:00 p.m. Tuesday.

A press release from the volunteer organization, which provides residential care for the woman, identifies her as "Beth," but says she may not answer to that name if addressed.

They describe her as five feet tall, about 125 pounds, with dark blonde hair and hazel eyes.

She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a leopard print shirt and a teal hoodie; however, she had a backpack with her and could have changed clothes.

According to the press release, the woman "...has a syndrome that causes insatiable hunger, so could be sighted around restaurants or grocery stores. She is described as articulate and talkative and may not immediately appear to have disabilities. Because of her syndrome, she is likely to go to any length to obtain food, including fabricating stories and offering favors."

The woman may try to head for Oklahoma City, where she previously lived with her parents.

She has taken off before but was found in Tulsa several hours later.

It’s thought that she will try to return to Oklahoma City, where she formerly lived with her parents. She has disappeared previously. The last time she was found in Tulsa, after being missing for several hours.

Anyone who has seen her or has information is urged to contact the Tulsa Police Department at 918-596-9377, the Oklahoma City Police Department, or call any of the following numbers: 918-853-4995, 918-361-9545.
