Police in Missouri City are looking to identify a suspect in the mysterious disappearance of a 61-year-old woman.
Karen Miles was last seen on Aug. 21 but was not officially reported missing to police until Aug. 29.
“She’s a part of so many organizations. She gives so much, she’s constantly volunteering,” Danessa Bolling, Miles’ friend, said.
Loved ones say Miles’ worker bee way and the fact that her kids live out of town are likely why she went missing without anyone immediately noticing.
“(She) is light, and so, this feels dark because we don’t know where she is,” Bolling said.
Bolling and Miles go way back. They are both members of the same church and the Order of the Eastern Star, a co-ed fraternal organization.
“We just want Karen home,” Bolling said.
According to Missouri City police, Miles was last seen on Aug. 21 somewhere near the Beltway and Highway 90. However, her disappearance was reported to police eight days later.
“I am already accepting that she is gone, and I am trying to deal with that,” Patricia Evans, Miles’ oldest sister, said.
