Euless woman, mentally challenged and missing since May, found safe

A mentally challenged Euless woman who had been missing since May was found safe in Dallas this week.

A security guard found Keon Mayweather, 22, trespassing at a vacant apartment building Tuesday in the 9300 block of Skillman Street in northeast Dallas, said Cpl. Tramese Andrews, a Dallas police spokeswoman.

Dallas patrol officers returned Mayweather to Euless after noticing she was listed as a missing person in a computer database.

Adult protective services is now involved in the case, said Sgt. Todd Murphree, a Euless police spokesman.

Mayweather, who has the mind of a child, according to her family, went missing May 31 when she voluntarily left her family’s apartment in the 1400 block of Sotogrande Boulevard in Euless. She didn’t have a car or a cellphone.

Police said they did not know Thursday how she got to Dallas.

The previous February, she wandered away and was found by police. Because she couldn’t communicate with them, Mayweather was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth for observation. Family members were later contacted and picked her up.
