Authorities in Connecticut are asking for the public’s assistance in locating Anne Marie Pappalardo, a 61-year-old woman from Mansfield who has been reported missing since Saturday, October 26, 2025. The Connecticut State Police have issued a Silver Alert, a statewide emergency notice used to help locate missing seniors and vulnerable adults.
According to police, Anne Marie was last seen wearing a black jacket, black vest, black leggings, and brown boots. She is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing approximately 150 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. Authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance but confirm that ongoing efforts are underway to locate her safely.
Family members say Anne Marie’s disappearance is completely out of character. Loved ones describe her as a warm, thoughtful, and steady presence—a woman who has always been reliable and deeply caring toward those around her. Friends and neighbors in the Mansfield community echoed those sentiments, recalling her kindness, generosity, and the gentle way she approached life.
“She’s the kind of person who would do anything to help someone in need,” said one family friend. “We just want her home safe.”
In response to the alert, search efforts have been intensified across the region. Police are canvassing local neighborhoods, wooded areas, and nearby routes, while residents are being encouraged to check their properties and security footage for any potential sightings. Flyers and online appeals have also been shared across social media, as the community rallies together in hopes of bringing Anne Marie home.
Authorities are urging anyone with information—no matter how small—to come forward. “Every detail matters,” a spokesperson from Connecticut State Police Troop C in Tolland said in a statement. “Even a small tip could help us locate Anne and ensure her safe return to her loved ones.”
