Silver Alert Issued for Missing California Woman Connie Jones; Public Urged to Assist
Authorities in Eureka, California, have issued an urgent Silver Alert for 63-year-old Connie Jones, an endangered woman who has gone missing under concerning circumstances. The Eureka Police Department (EPD) is asking for the public’s immediate assistance in locating her.
Connie Jones was last seen on Friday, April 11, 2025, walking southbound behind the ACE Hardware store on Harris Street in Eureka. She was reportedly wearing a neon green short-sleeve shirt, and is described as having a medium build, with shoulder-length gray and brown hair. Given her age and circumstances surrounding her disappearance, police believe she may be at significant risk and have activated the California Silver Alert system to increase public awareness and speed up efforts to locate her safely.
The Silver Alert, which functions similarly to the AMBER Alert but is designated for missing seniors or individuals with cognitive impairments, allows for rapid statewide notifications through media, transportation signage, and law enforcement communication channels. The urgency in this case stems from Connie’s vulnerable status and the fact that she has not been seen since her last confirmed sighting Friday morning.
The Eureka Police Department is leading the investigation and has allocated multiple resources in the area, canvassing neighborhoods and gathering surveillance footage from local businesses. Officers are also working with local health facilities and transit authorities in the event that Connie has attempted to seek help or travel beyond Eureka city limits.
In a statement released by EPD, officials emphasized the importance of community involvement:
“Time is critical in missing persons cases, especially those involving individuals at risk due to age or medical conditions. We urge everyone in Eureka and surrounding areas to remain vigilant. If you have seen Connie Jones or have any information about her whereabouts, call us immediately at 707-441-4044.”
Loved ones are growing increasingly concerned, describing Connie as a kind, soft-spoken woman who is deeply rooted in the community. Friends say her disappearance is entirely out of character and suspect she may have become disoriented or lost. Her family is cooperating fully with authorities and has joined in local search efforts.
The case has drawn attention across Northern California, with social media users amplifying the Silver Alert and sharing Connie’s description in hopes of reaching those who may have passed through the area where she was last seen. Eureka residents are encouraged to check their properties, sheds, and garages, and to review any outdoor surveillance footage from the morning of April 11.
This is a developing story, and updates will be shared as more information becomes available. The safety and recovery of Connie Jones remain the highest priority for law enforcement and her loved ones.
