More than 100 people searched Wednesday for a missing woman who wandered away from her rural Plainfield home a day earlier.
Cloris Mehmen suffers from Alzheimer’s and dementia and hasn’t been seen since Tuesday morning, according to Bremer County Sheriff Dan Pickett.
Authorities late Wednesday put a call out for volunteers to help with the search today. Volunteers must be 18 years old, wear closed toe footwear, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts (to protect from wild parsnip and other vegetation/insects).
Mehmen is a 76-year-old, white female last seen wearing blue jeans and a men’s short-sleeved shirt.
Authorities hunted roads, ditches and an 8-mile radius around her home northeast of Plainfield on Tuesday night with no luck. On Wednesday crews from surrounding communities joined for a more detailed search over a larger area.
“We have probably 100-plus people,” Pickett said.
Searchers are looking in outbuildings and canvassing homes in the area.
Pickett said investigators are also following up on possible sightings in cities as far away as Waterloo, some 30 miles to the south.
Mehmen was last seen at about 7:30 a.m. when her husband left the house, Pickett said. Authorities were notified she was missing at about 5 p.m.
Deputies received a tip a person matching Mehmen’s description was seen in the area of County Road C33/190th Street and U.S. Highway 63 getting into an older white vehicle at about 3:14 a.m. Wednesday, Pickett said. He said it was unclear whether the person was actually her.
The site is about 13 miles southeast of Mehmen’s home.
Another person reported seeing someone who looked like Mehmen in Waterloo, and officials are looking into this unconfirmed sighting, according to Pickett.
It isn’t the first time Mehmen has been missing. Authorities have responded to three other reports of her wandering off in the last few months, but in the past she was found quickly, Pickett said.
“She has wandered,” said Jo Dietz, a neighbor. “My husband brought her home a couple weeks ago. She had gone up to the blacktop up north here.”
Anyone with information on Mehmen’s whereabouts should call the Bremer County Dispatch Center at (319) 352-5400 ext. 3.

Donald Roy Smith, of North Main Street in Roxboro, made his first appearance in District Court in Hillsborough before Judge Joseph Buckner on Tuesday facing at least 17 counts of various sex offenses.
Assistant District Attorney Byron Beasley said in court that Smith’s $1.5 million bond should not be lowered because the case is still in the early stages of the investigation.
“The matter is currently still being investigated,” Beasley said. “There are multiple victims, at least one of which, it has been brought to my attention, is present in the courtroom.
“It’s pretty early in the process.”
Smith was initially charged with 12 counts of indecent liberties with a child, two counts of first-degree sex offense with a child, two counts of statutory sexual offense with a person who is 15 years or younger and attempted second-degree rape of a child. Officials said additional charges are possible.

Defense attorney George Doyle argued that the bond should be unsecured in hopes of allowing Smith to be released from custody. Doyle pointed to support from the community as a reason his request should be considered. Doyle turned to the packed courtroom and asked how many were there to support Smith; approximately two-thirds of those in attendance raised their hands in response.
“These people have all come down from Roxboro, your honor,” Doyle said. “He has no criminal record – which, I think Mr. Beasley can confirm. He voluntarily submitted himself to an interview with investigators without counsel. He offered to turn himself in.”
Doyle also said Smith had cancer and needed to be released to continue receiving treatment.
“He is not a flight risk,” Doyle said. “This man couldn’t outrun an iceberg.”
The crimes Smith is accused of occurred from 1984 through 1989, according to warrants, and Doyle argued that should ease any concerns the court may have.
“So there’s no minor children out there, that I know of today, that would be endanger of Mr. Smith being released,” Doyle said.
There is no statute of limitation on charges being brought in this type of case.
Buckner said that he wanted to hear a full report from pre-trial release before changing Smith’s bond.
A bond hearing was set for Thursday afternoon.
