SMITH COUNTY, Texas — The Smith County Sheriff's Office is searching for a woman who was reported missing on Dec. 1.
According to the SCSO, Dian Bragg Godwin, 72, was last seen in the 13100 block of CR 1118 in after walking away from her home on Nov. 29.
Officials say Godwin's daughter claimed this was not unusual and that her mother frequently walked away from the residence, but would return to her home within a day or two. Authorities say Godwin has also been known to walk for hours at a time throughout Tyler.
Godwin has now been missing for over a week and has not been seen or heard from.
She stands 5'4, and weighs 110 pounds with salt and pepper hair, and blue eyes. She may be wearing a light blue t-shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes. Her left hand will possibly be bandaged due to a recent dog bite. The family says Godwin has a history of high blood pressure, undiagnosed dementia and thyroid cancer.
If anyone has any information as to the whereabouts of Godwin, please call the SCSO at (903) 566-6600.
