Palatka, FL – Deputies in Putnam County are asking for the public’s help today as they continue trying to locate 49-year-old Yesenia “Jessie” Alvarado, who was last seen leaving a residence on Browning Avenue in Palatka on Nov. 30.
According to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, several reports indicate Alvarado has recently been seen around Palatka. However, deputies say she does not appear to be making contact with family members. The sheriff’s office emphasized that while they respect her privacy, they need confirmation that she is safe and urged her to reach out directly to Detective Johns.
Family members told deputies that on Nov. 30 at about 6:30 p.m., Alvarado told relatives she was leaving the home due to being upset. She reportedly left without her phone and wallet. Relatives initially believed she might have been staying with her sister in Daytona, though deputies say she never arrived at that location. She is also known to visit areas of Seville and Crescent City.
Alvarado is described as 49 years old, weighing about 117 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a navy blue shirt, black jacket and gray sweatpants.
Deputies again stressed that Alvarado is not suspected of any crime, nor is she in trouble. Authorities say they simply need confirmation that she is unharmed.
Anyone with information or who has seen Alvarado is urged to call the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office at 386-329-0800 and ask for Detective Johns.
