No New Leads In Missing Woman Case

BERLIN — Four months after her mysterious disappearance, the search continues for an elderly Berlin woman who has not been seen since Memorial Day.

Shortly after midnight on Tuesday, May 28, the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office received a missing persons report for Helen Stephanie David, 77, of Berlin, from her son Ryan Putney. David lived on Carefree Lane in the South Point area and was last seen by family members around 3 p.m. the day before, which was Memorial Day Monday. According to Putney, David suffers from dementia and short-term memory loss.

An extensive search was conducted in the South Point area and along the Route 611 corridor on the ground, by air and in the water to new avail. At the height of the search effort, local law enforcement agencies were assisted by the Civil Air Patrol and search and rescue teams from as far away as the western shore of Maryland and an army of citizen volunteers combed the woods and properties around South Point with flashlights.
