NOPD has been searching for 76-year-old Jean Stokes, who was last heard from on a phone call with her family on Oct. 11 around 10:30 a.m.
According to NOPD, Stokes drives a silver 2005 Toyota Rav 4 with the license plate number: SQB 685.
A vehicle matching the description was discovered on Tuesday around 3:30 p.m. on Dwyer Boulevard near A Street. An update on Stokes’ whereabouts has not been released at this time.
