The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is asking the public to help locate Wiltrude Moritz.

Moritz, a 71 year-old Gardnerville resident, suffers from dementia and has gone missing.

She was last seen at her home in the Gardnerville Ranchos on May 12 around noon.

Moritz is a white female adult with white hair and hazel eyes.  She was last seen wearing a white V-neck shirt, black pants and powder blue Keds shoes.
