WESTFIELD, Pa (WENY) — WENY News is continuing to follow the report of a missing elderly woman from Tioga County, Pennsylvania, who went missing on July 20th. Over 50 community volunteers gathered at the Westfield Municipal Building on Thursday morning to begin their search for 84-year-old Phyllis Potter.
People started looking for Potter just after 8:30 a.m.; the search spanned out into nearby towns surrounding Westfield. A family member said Potter was last seen leaving Missy’s Market on July 20th, sometime between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
