Search for missing woman continues

By Staff

Russellville Police and other local law enforcement agencies are still searching for a local woman who walked away from a group home last Friday.
RPD Investigator Capt. David Hester said Yu Chin Chang Goodson, 56, left the home on Norton Avenue sometime around 4 p.m. on March 25.
Hester said a neighbor saw her walking toward Courtland Road in downtown Russellville and saw her getting into a silver or gray vehicle, possibly a Mazda, with a loud muffler. That's the last time Goodson has been seen or heard from. She suffers from medical conditions that require daily medication. If found, she may not be able to tell her name, or she may seem to be intoxicated.
Goodson appears to be of Asian descent. She is 4 feet 11 inches tall, has brown eyes and shoulder-length black hair with gray mixed and weighs around 125 pounds.
When she was last seen, she was wearing a blue sweatshirt and blue jeans. "I am very concerned about this little lady," Hester said. "I pray that we have a good outcome on this case."
Anyone with any information on the woman should contact the Russellville Police station at 332-2230.
