Police Ask for Help to Find Missing East Boston Woman After One Month

Boston: So, here’s the scoop. The Boston Police are really trying to find a woman named Elba Portillo. She’s been missing for a whole month now. Elba is 61 years old and was last spotted around 9:30 a.m. on December 13. She was in the Marion Street area after leaving for work on Meridian Street.

The police mentioned that she didn’t show up for work that day, which is pretty concerning. Elba has gone missing before and has a habit of hanging out by the waterfront in East Boston. They also said she might be dealing with insomnia and possibly early stages of dementia, which makes the situation even more urgent.

Describing her, they say she’s Hispanic, about 5 feet 3 inches tall, and weighs around 140 pounds. She has light skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. The last outfit she was seen in included a black jacket, purple sweatpants, and a brown crossbody purse.

If anyone knows where she might be, the police are asking you to call 911 or reach out to Boston detectives at 617-343-4234. And if you want to keep it anonymous, you can call the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or just text ‘TIP’ to CRIME (27463).
