OSBI Searches for Clayton Missing Woman

Law enforcement officials in Southeast Oklahoma are searching for a missing 66-year-old woman last seen Tuesday around noontime.   OSBI is asking if anyone has seen Mattie Christian since Tuesday afternoon to alert authorities immediately.  Christian suffers from diabetes. 

Christian was last seen wearing a purple colored shirt or jacket with a hood, pajama style pants, and white nurse’s shoes.  She is 5’2” tall, weighs 145 pounds with short brown hair.   She was last known to be at her apartment in the Country Village Apartment complex in Clayton.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has used a FLIR on its plane to find her by air and blood hound dogs on the ground with no success.  OSBI is working on obtaining a photograph to disperse to the public.   If anyone knows of Christian’s whereabouts, they can call the OSBI hotline at 1-800-522-8017.
