Missing Patrick woman sought
The Patrick County Sheriff's Office is searching for a woman who has been missing since Tuesday, Feb. 23.
Delene H. Curry, 49, of Patrick County, left home in a gray four-door Chevrolet Caprice. The car is a 1990 model with license plate number JEP-3800, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
Curry is described as a white female with long brown hair, brown eyes, 5'2" tall and weighing about 200 pounds.
The sheriff's office has placed information about Curry in the nationwide data base for missing adults and a computer network that reaches law enforcement agencies across the country, Sheriff Dan Smith said.
Smith said Curry suffers from depression. She was reported missing about eight months ago when she left home for three days, became disoriented, and was located in Wilmington, N.C., Smith said.
"We believe her depression is playing a significant role in her disappearance," Smith said. Curry had recently lost her job, he added.
Investigator Karen McGrath is the investigating officer.
Anyone with information about Curry's location is asked to call the sheriff's office at 276-694-3161 or 276-694-5000.
