West Linn woman, 81, in white VW Jetta still missing
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — On May 16, Judith Roberts had lunch plans with her friend in West Linn. When she didn't show up, her friend checked her house — but she wasn't there. Two days later she called the family.
'This is how we think what happened,' Judith's daughter, Elizabeth Farly, told KOIN 6 News on Saturday. 'It wasn't that she intentionally went to the coast. She took a wrong turn and she kept driving. And she's pretty stubborn when she's in a mood.'
Farly Since then, Judith — who is 81 — has been spotted at least three times along the Oregon Coast, including two sightings the day she disappeared.
The first time was surveillance video at a gas station in Lincoln City, the next was from a safety camera in Florence. The third time was on a camera in Winchester Bay, traveling south on Highway 101.
Judith Roberts is driving a white Volkswagen Jetta with an Oregon license plate 501 JYP. Her son has been driving along the coast looking for their mom.

'He went all the way down to Brookings, the last kind of city in Oregon before you hit the border to California,' Farly said. 'And then came all the way back up and hit places that he hadn't hit on the way down.'
Farly said her mother — 5-feet-6, 100 pounds with short grey hair and glasses — has cognitive issues and relies on medications.
'We want her home, and we want her home safe. and but we're also coming to the realization that we may not — we don't know where she is,' Farly said. 'We miss you and we want you to come home.'
Anyone with information about Judith Roberts is asked to call 911.

Bullets, graffiti hinder restoration work on historic Michigan lighthouse
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A northern Michigan group is working to restore a historic lighthouse. Now, they're not only fighting Mother Nature and Father Time, but an alleged vandal, as well. Erin Griebe, the chairperson of the , says volunteers first noticed bullet holes in the lamp room last fall. 'That's very expensive glass to replace. It's all custom because this is a very old historic building, and once the integrity of the glass is disrupted with bullet holes, you have to make those repairs,' Griebe . Volunteers made those repairs but noticed new ones a few weeks ago. Frankfort Police Chief Mark Ketz said it's clear this is not an 'isolated incident.' Nitrous oxide abuse up more than 500% in Michigan 'You've got these volunteers that are out here donating their own time to help protect this piece of history, and this damage is hindering that process,' Ketz told UpNorthLive. In addition to the bullet holes, the lighthouse has long been a target of graffiti. 'It's just years and years of build up and paint and, you know, if we're going to spend all this money, donated money to entirely clean this down to the bare metal and then restore it to pristine condition, is this just going to happen again?' Ketz said. The restoration project was estimated to cost $1.1 million in 2022. Griebe already knows the costs will surpass that estimate and wants to avoid any other unnecessary work. Suspect arrested after MSP K-9 follows track for 5 miles 'We are hopeful that by raising awareness, people will become less likely to tag the lighthouse, and for the individuals taking shots at it will also think twice now that the community at large is more aware,' she told News 8. The , on the north breakwater of the city's harbor, was built in 1912 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
