Salem police seek missing woman who left behind children, medication

The Salem Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in locating Priscilla Joann Aldana, a 43-year-old woman reported missing on December 23. She was last seen in the area of Lancaster Drive and Hagers Grove Road SE around 4 p. m. on December 20. Described as a Hispanic woman standing about 5-foot-8 with black curly hair and brown eyes, Aldana's well-being is a significant concern.

Authorities are especially worried because she left behind her minor children and is without essential medication. The police department urges anyone who may have seen Aldana to contact the Salem Police Tip Line at 503-588-8477. They emphasize that several unofficial posters with alternate contact numbers are circulating, and it is crucial to use the Tip Line for accurate reporting. This case highlights the urgent need for community involvement in locating missing persons, particularly when children are involved. As the search continues, the Salem community is encouraged to remain vigilant and report any relevant information.
