Our community is coming together to help find a vulnerable member who needs our assistance. Hamilton Township Police Department is actively searching for Mary Hanna, an 81-year-old woman with dementia who was last seen around noon today at her residence in the Evergreen at Timber Glen Condo complex in Mays Landing.
The urgency of this search cannot be overstated. When someone with dementia goes missing, every minute counts. Disorientation and confusion can lead individuals to wander far from familiar surroundings, making quick community action essential.
What We Know
Mary Hanna was last seen at her home on Songbird Lane, located near the Target store in the Timber Glen area. Authorities report she stands 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighs approximately 120 pounds, and has brown eyes and gray hair.
While what she was wearing when she disappeared remains unknown, police believe she may be wearing black slippers and yellow socks—details that could help residents spot her more easily.
How You Can Help
Police are specifically asking residents in and around the Timber Glen area to review their home security camera footage from midday Wednesday. Ring doorbells, driveway cameras, and other surveillance systems could hold crucial clues about which direction Mary traveled.
If you're in the neighborhood, consider taking a careful look around your property, including sheds, garages, and other outbuildings where someone might seek shelter. People with dementia sometimes enter unfamiliar properties when confused.
Anyone with information about Mary Hanna's whereabouts should immediately contact the Hamilton Township Police Department at (609) 625-2700 or call 9-1-1. No detail is too small—even a brief sighting could provide the breakthrough investigators need.
This is when our Atlantic County community shows what we're made of. Let's bring Mary home safely to her family.
