Search continues for missing Albany woman
ALBANY — Donnie Robine is frantic. Since Sunday, he and his family have been trying to find his mother, 64-year-old Beverly Robine, withoutthe slightest clue as to where she might be.
“I just don’t know what else to do,” Robine said. “She was last seen Sunday and we’ve been scouring the streets looking for her. If someone knows where she is, please, I hope they’ll call.”
Robine says his mother, who he said was bipolar, manic-depressive and schizophrenic, left home after family members talked about getting her help after her daughter, Robine’s sister, succumbed to cancer last week.
“I think she overheard us talking about taking her to a doctor to get some help and then she got upset,” Robine said.
Robine said he is worried for his mother’s safety because she has none of her medication and because she had said she had been threatened by a man who came up into her yard recently.
According to the Albany Police Department, Robine is about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, with gray hair and glasses. She has an olive complexion and was last seen wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans.
When media reports first surfaced Friday morning releasing vague information about a missing woman being found near a drainage pipe near the Flint River, Robine said his heart nearly stopped.
“I about died,” he said. “They said it was a missing woman and there wasn’t much else they were saying, I just knew it was her. But later it turned out to be someone else.”
Anyone with information about Robine’s disappearance or her whereabouts, should call the Albany Police Department at 431-2100 or Albany Crimestoppers at 436-TIPS. Donnie Robine can also be reached at 883-3103.
