Search continues for missing Oakland woman Amy Hillyard last seen in park area

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) — It’s been one week since 52-year-old Oakland coffee shop owner Amy Hillyard disappeared, and the search for her is intensifying.

On Tuesday, Oakland police and sheriff’s deputies from across the Bay Area joined 60 friends and volunteers to comb through the Dimond Park area.

Police say video footage placed Hillyard in the area, around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25.

Officials say she’s considered “at risk” because of a medical condition.

“She went for a walk, and that’s all we know,” longtime family friend Susan Eandi said. “And she may have been a little disoriented. You saw that she has a medical condition, so there is some urgency and concern for that reason. and what we’re doing as a community and law enforcement is looking for Amy and looking to bring her home.”

Authorities are asking people to familiarize themselves with Hillyard’s face and to check doorbell cameras for any possible sightings.

Hillyard is described as being 5’4″ and about 120 pounds, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing tan-colored top and tan pants.
