“She lives in Waverly, but she works in Columbus,” said Sgt. Joe Taylor, of the Waverly PD. “I personally spoke with her mother who has been in contact with a detective from the Columbus Police Department, as her last known location was Columbus.”

Staton, a home health nurse and mother of three, was reported missing by her family after she was gone for nearly two weeks with no contact with her mother or children. In a report with WSYX, Staton’s mother reported that she has been caring for clients when she went missing.

“She was in Columbus the last time the family was able to get in contact with her, so the report was filed there,” said Waverly Police Chief Larry Roe. “Staton’s mother initially contacted our office to see what she could do when she was unable to contact her daughter.”

At this time, Staton is listed in the Waverly PD Leads database as a missing person, according to Sgt. Taylor.

“If any law enforcement officer comes into contact with her, it will come back in the system,” he said. “Those with any information regarding Staton’s whereabouts are asked to call the Waverly Police Department at (740) 947-2179.”
