Walsh disappeared on Jan. 20. Channel 11 learned Walsh and her daughter were supposed to meet for dinner that night, but Walsh never showed up.

Family said that was out of character for her, so they called police. She was not at her home on Dolores Drive and did not contact her.

According to family members, Walsh’s husband passed away a few months ago, but she was in better spirits and looking forward to starting volunteer work.

Walsh’s son-in-law, Nathan Duke, told Channel 11 News he and his wife had lunch with Walsh on Jan. 19. When they returned to her home on Jan. 20, she was gone, and they spent hours trying to get in contact with her.

Walsh is described as white and 5 feet, 3 inches tall with blond hair and hazel eyes. She does not have any known health issues.

Detectives are also looking for Walsh’s vehicle, a silver 2018 Chevrolet Trax with Pennsylvania license plate number KTW-6007.
