Just saw another post about the missing hiker, name is Sandra Johnsen Hughes. She was spotted along Road 5S01 last weekend around the Portuguese Creek area at The Balls. She was wearing overalls and a floral shirt. A previous sighting indicated she was barefooted. The person who saw her said she seemed thinner than in the photos of her.
Officials do not think she is trying to evade them, and suggest she may be in a dissociative state unable to realize she may need help. If anyone sees her, we are requested to try to make contact with her and let her know family, her niece Ashley, are worried about her. It is suggested to engage her long enough to reach out to law enforcement to get there.
