Authorities continue to ask for information after 72-year-old Boonville woman disappears
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Authorities say they are attempting to narrow down persons of interests in their investigation of a 72-year-old woman who disappeared in 2019.
The Boonville Police Department held a press conference on Friday with the Warrick County Prosecutor's Office, the FBI, Indiana State Police and the family of Donna Hatfield to renew public attention in her disappearance. Hatfield was reported missing by her family on August 26, 2019. She was last believed to have been seen in late May or early June of that year at the home where she was living with her son, Thomas Rainey Jr., in the 600 block of 1st Street in Boonville.

Authorities say Hatfield was living with Alzheimer's disease at the time of her disappearance, and her personal belongings, including medication, identification and clothing, were found untouched inside her home. Since her disappearance, investigators say they pursued numerous leads, executed multiple search warrants and enlisted support from outside agencies. However, police say there is currently no evidence to indicate she is still alive.
Investigators say there is a small pool of persons of interest in the case, including Hatfield's son.

FBI seeks woman accused of assaulting agent, stealing badge in Concord
The FBI's San Francisco field office is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of a woman who is accused of assaulting federal officers and stealing a special agent's badge in Concord this week. The FBI said in a news release the woman was wearing a black hoodie at the time of the incident. Photos released by the agency showed the woman was wearing a pink beanie and black medical mask. 'She is believed to be the individual who took the FBI Special Agent's badge,' the agency said in a statement. The alleged assault occurred on the same day immigration hearings in San Francisco and Concord were halted following protests after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted a new round of arrests.

At least four people were arrested at Concord's immigration court on Tuesday, according to a previous Chronicle report.
