Authorities are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing Vancouver woman who is believed to be experiencing a mental health crisis.
A family member reported 35-year-old Joelle Emerson missing to the Vancouver Police Department on Thursday after Emerson left her residence during a mental health crisis, police said. She has not made contact with her family.
Police said Emerson is considered to be at risk due to her ongoing mental health concerns.
She is described as standing 5 feet 7 inches tall, 125 pounds, with blue eyes and short red hair. At the time of her disappearance, Emerson had her hair in a short ponytail. She was last seen wearing black pants and a green hooded jacket.
Anyone who sees Emerson or knows of her whereabouts should contact 311, if in Clark County, or Vancouver police Detective David Jensen at 360-772-2205.
