Geneva AtkinsThe search for a missing Hamilton County woman is entering its second week with still no sign or clue to her whereabouts.
Geneva Atkins, 83, has been missing since April 16.
During a news conference Monday, Lt. Chris Harvey with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office criminal investigation division said she was last seen heading north on Highway 58 near Central High School.
Her husband, Willie Atkins Sr., told authorities he met her earlier that evening at her place of employment on Shaw Avenue in Chattanooga. From there, they planned to caravan to the family farm on Garfield Road in Harrison with her son, Willie Atkins Jr., leading the way. The son rode ahead to make sure the gate was open. When his father arrived at the farm, he waited at the gate for his wife to arrive. But she never did.
He said he lost sight of her in traffic on Highway 58 near the high school.
