Pottsville, PA – Pennsylvania State Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing Schuylkill County woman who authorities say may be at risk of harm or injury.
Rebecca McNellis, 45, was last seen Friday around 10 p.m. in the 700 block of West Market Street in Pottsville, according to the Pennsylvania State Police Frackville barracks. Investigators said McNellis is considered an endangered missing person and may be confused.
Police described McNellis as 5-foot-6, weighing about 260 pounds, with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last reported wearing a leopard-print headband, floral jogger pants and a hoodie.
Officials initially reported McNellis missing from Pottsville City on Sept. 5. However, a later update from PSP Tips listed her place of residence as Benner Township and noted she had been missing since Aug. 20. Authorities did not clarify the discrepancy but stressed that locating her is a priority.
Anyone with information on McNellis’ whereabouts is urged to call 911 immediately. Tips may also be submitted to Pennsylvania State Police in Frackville at 570-874-5300 or through PSP Tips toll-free at 1-800-472-8477. An online tip form is also available at p3tips.com.
Police said callers to PSP Tips could be eligible for a cash reward if their information helps resolve the case.
