Bellevue Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a woman that was last seen in downtown Bellevue this past Tuesday.
On Tuesday, November 25th, Bellevue Police responded to a dentistry office located near the intersection of Bellevue Way and Main Street. Police later learned that 54-year-old Denise Silva, who had been at the dental office for an appointment, had left the area on foot and was missing. Silva’s parents, who reported her missing, told police that she is considered endangered due to a previous brain injury that causes her to be confused and disoriented. Police are further concerned due to the fact that Silva left on foot, was unfamiliar with the Bellevue area, and did not have warm clothing appropriate for the low overnight temperatures in the area.
Silva is described as 5 foot 7 inches tall, 165 pounds with brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a light grey fleece with black pants and black sneakers. Bellevue Police are asking residents in the area of west Bellevue to check their properties, specifically out buildings, for Silva, and to call 911 if she is located.
