FAIRBANKS — A grandmother from Wasilla remains missing, and authorities said they have few leads as to her whereabouts.
Carolyn “Sue” Tyrrell, 68, told a friend on July 4 that she was headed to Fairbanks. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
“We haven’t received any tips,” Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said. “She could be anywhere.”
At least 30 friends and relatives have searched campgrounds, side roads and pullouts along the Parks Highway and highways north of Fairbanks, said Terry Tyrrell, the missing woman’s son.
“We’ve probably got 100 flyers out,” he said.
Tyrrell is believed to be traveling in her black 1998 Ford Explorer — license plate HAH682 — with two parrots.
She is 5-feet-8 and 220 pounds with blue eyes, gray hair and glasses. She walks with a cane, her son said.
Tyrrell’s bank card shows she purchased fuel in Fairbanks, her son said.
The family and authorities are evaluating cell phone records in search of clues, he said.
“It might give us a timeline of when she actually got to Fairbanks,” Terry Tyrrell said. “We are kind of in the dark about when she got to Fairbanks.”
The family has a mine at 98 Mile Steese Highway, but there’s no sign of Tyrrell there, her son said.
Anyone with information about Tyrrell’s whereabouts is asked to call the Palmer trooper detachment at 352-5401.
