MS. POLK STILL MISSING OVER A YEAR LATER‼️
👉The disappearance of 88-year-old Myrtle Polk occurred over a year ago. A Silver Alert was activated on June 10th and subsequently cancelled in July, yet Ms. Polk remains missing.
Her son continues to actively seek her whereabouts. On June 8, 2024, Ms. Polk and her 2004 black Lexus sedan were last observed.
The missing woman, a well-known figure within the Laureland community of southern Dallas, was last seen conversing with a neighbor outside her residence.
The investigation is ongoing, with active efforts to locate Myrtle Polk, including the distribution of a national bulletin. The family maintains a supply of flyers and remains in communication with detectives.
Philip Polk, Myrtle's son, stated, "It’s tough because we’ve sat with this for a year. We’ve never stopped looking, we’ve never given up hope. But it’s just tough to go a year without any answers." He further elaborated, "What we believe is that Sunday morning she woke up with intentions to go to church, got in her car, went to the end of this street, took a right. Her church is about a mile down the road, that she missed a turn, kept driving and just got confused."
Tameka Landon, a long-time family friend, added, "I will say during this entire year I’ve never had that sense of doom or that this is over. So the faith has always been there."
Recently, authorities conducted a search of Lake Cliff Park in Dallas, near Baylock Drive and Sabine Street. While approximately ten submerged vehicles were recovered, Ms. Polk's black Lexus was not among them.
