Northfield woman with dementia missing nearly a month

  • News

An extensive search is continuing for a woman with dementia missing from Northfield for almost a month.

Idalia Mendez, 72, is from New Brunswick but currently living in Northfield with family, according to police.

She was first reported as last seen at about 3:15 p.m. July 5, in the area of Maple and Spruce avenues.

But surveillance video from around Doughty and Delilah Roads shows her walking in the area at about 6:20 p.m. July 5.

The location about three miles from where she was last seen in Northfield is the last sighting investigators have.

Northfield police have been joined by multiple agencies in the search, including the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, the State Police Aviation Unit and Atlantic County Sheriff's Department K-9 Unit.

"We continue to search and actively follow leads," Northfield police said.

A flyer shows photo from the video surveillance along with the shirt and jewelry she was wearing.

Anyone with information about her her location is asked to call Northfield police at 609-641-3122, or your local police department.
