GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The sister of famed soul singer Al Green is missing in Grand Rapids, according to police.

Maxine Green was reported missing on August 23rd when she did not return home. The last reported sighting of her was on September 6th at “B and B Party Shoppes” on Leonard Street NW.

Green’s daughter, Lasha Green, spent Monday morning canvassing Leonard Street near US 131 in Grand Rapids. She desperately looked for answers in the disapperance of her 61-year-old mother.

“Have you seen this lady… Maxine?” Green asked a man on the street.

She told FOX 17, “Time is not on our hands in situations like this. My mother is… she was diagnosed like 26 years ago of being a paranoid schizophrenia and plus she`s a alcoholic.”

Grand Rapids police told FOX 17 a guardian reported Green missing on August 23rd. She lives at Shepherds of Independence near Leonard and Morgan on the northwest side. However, she hasn’t been home since. A manager at the supervised housing facility said Shepherds contacted the The Servants Center, which handles Green`s disability checks.

“[The Servant Center] issue her funds once a week for her to maintain and live off, and she haven`t picked up any funds during the month of september. Period,” green said.

One month later, her family is upset that no one contacted them about Green’s disappearance. Maxine Green’s son found out she was missing after contacting her supervised home.

Lasha Green said anyone who’s met Green likely learned that her brother is soul singer Al Green. Her family said she lets everyone know this, and so they hope someone seeing her picture posted around town will know where she is now.

“She catch the bus right down the street a lot and go downtown and hang out and occasionally stop at family member’s houses, but no one in the family has heard from her or seen her,” Green said.

Lasha Green said this is the second blow for the family this year. The Green family is related to Latrice Maze. She disappeared earlier this year. Grand Rapids police believe the 26-year-old mother of five was murdered by her boyfriend. Maze’s body has not been found.

Anyone with information regarding Green’s whereabouts is asked to call Grand Rapids police or Silent Observer at 616-774-2345.

I hope they charge that woman with fraud for using the card. Maybe that will sharpen her memory about where she got it.

Honestly, though, there is so much buying, selling and trading of those cards, it is not a sure thing that anyone who used the card had anything to do with Ms. Green going missing.

Very sad.

Maxine Eve Green

Green was initially reported missing from her assisted living home in August 2013, but investigators believe she was last seen the weekend of Sept. 6, 2013, at B&B Party Shoppe on Leonard Street NW, said Lt.

Green had a tendency of coming and going at the home she was staying at, located on the north west side of Grand Rapids. When her worker visited her and discovered she wasn't there at the end of August, she didn't take any of her belongings with her, which was not typical, Rogers said.
Green was the sister of R&B singer, Al Green, Rogers said.

Bumping for Maxine, apparently still missing eight years now. If anyone has more recent information please share it. She would be 69 years old I believe.
 
Yes, unfortunately Maxine is still missing. I have spoken with 2 of her sisters and niece. The family has put up 2 billboards but no tips have come in. They would like to raise the reward in hopes someone would come forward with information.

Maxine Green lived at the Shepherds of Independence in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Shepherds of Independence is an assisted living facility for disabled adults. Maxine suffers from schizophrenia and alcoholism, reports the Charley Project.
In 2013, 62-year-old Maxine Green left the assisted living facility. Witnesses saw her sometime between September 6, 2013, and September 8, 2013, and she was seen at the B&B Party Shoppes on Leonard Street Northwest. The B&B Party Shoppes is less than one mile from the Shepherds of Independence. Maxine Green has never been seen or heard from again.

According to FOX17, a guardian reported Maxine missing on August 23, 2013. A manager at the Shepherds of Independence contacted The Servants Center, which handles Maxine's disability checks. They said Maxine had not picked up any of her weekly disability payments in one month.
No one contacted her family for a month about her disappearance. Her son only found out his mother was missing when he contacted the Shepherds of Independence about her care, reports FOX17. Authorities state her disappearance was on August 23, 2013. Her family lists her disappearance as September 6-8, 2013.
“You can’t sleep when you don’t have closure, it’s really hard,” Maxine’s sister Margaret Green, told FOX17. “When you love someone, you can’t never just put death away like that. You’ve got to know what happened. You want to know what happened.”

“We need to find out what happened to her so we can go on with our lives,” Maxine’s niece Janine Key told FOX17. “The longer that it’s taken, the longer we have to suffer.”
There is currently a $2500 reward for information on Maxine's case.
Although Maxine is the sister of R&B singer Al Green, his amount of involvement in the search for his sister is unknown.
There is a Facebook page dedicated to finding Maxine, Missing Maxine Green. The following is from that Facebook page:
"Thanks so much! I've been trying to up her reward but believe it or not there's not many ppl willing to give. So what Silent Observer offer is whats all available unfortunately & her brother definitely doesn't care either so there's that also."

The Green family is also related to Latrice Maze, who vanished in 2013, as well, reports FOX17. Her boyfriend eventually confessed to her murder and was sentenced to 50 to 100 years in prison. Latrice has never been found.
In October 2015, Al Green's brother, 58-year-old Lonnell Green, was reported missing from Memphis, Tennessee. Lonnell was found safely, reports WREG.
