Missing Florida Woman Found Safe After 3 Months

Katrice Simmons, who had been missing for three months, has been located and is safe, according to the Atlanta Police Department. Simmons, 59, had relocated from Pensacola, Florida, to Atlanta in April 2026 to live with an online acquaintance.

Her family reported her missing on August 18, 2026, after she ceased all contact, which was highly unusual. Prior to her disappearance, Simmons had mentioned to relatives that she was engaged and planning to marry the man she met online. The last known contact with her family was on May 19, 2026, during which she reportedly sounded distressed.

Family members had initiated searches, including checking shelters and morgues, fearing the worst. The case was initially handled by the DeKalb County Police Department before being transferred to the Atlanta Police Department. Details surrounding her discovery and whereabouts remain undisclosed for safety reasons.
