CAPE CORAL, Fla. – Cape Coral police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing and endangered adult.

Erica Ann Johnson was reported missing by family on Thursday, July 14th after missing a work shift.

She was last seen in the area of Coronado and Cape Coral Parkways.

Detectives say locating Johnson has been challenging, because she does not own a bank account or vehicle and rarely uses a phone. She also does not have any known social media accounts.

Johnson reportedly uses public transportation often.

Investigators say Johnson looks different than how she appears in this photo. She is currently described as having shorter, lighter colored hair with bright green eyes.

Anyone with information on Johnson’s whereabouts is asked to call The Cape Coral Police department at (239) 574-3223. You can also submit a tip through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-780-TIPS or online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com.

This is a tricky one. Doesn't look like her photo and has no other means of tracking her.

Being employed she'd have to have some way to get paid and cash her paycheck. With no bank account that makes it tough to track but I wonder when she got paid last. Was she carrying the check or lots of cash with her?

 

[moonriverfarm]

Why no bank account, car or phone? Where did she live? Roommates?

The body of a woman was found in Fort Myers. I don't have a good feeling about this.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The body of a female believed to be in her 30’s was found in the shrubs along the north end of the South Trail Shopping Plaza in Fort Myers Monday afternoon.

At around 3:15 p.m., the Fort Myers Police Department’s Homicide Unit responded to the plaza off of Cleveland Ave, near Grace Ave.

Detectives set up several lines of yellow crime scene tape and set up a blue tent, where the body was found.

FMPD said the body was discovered by a passerby. Police said they are investigating her death as suspicious. Investigators are also looking into how the woman died, and how long her body was there.

Her employer would have given her a pay card. Her pay would be auto deposited onto the card. She could go to an ATM and withdraw 100% of it if she wanted to. She could also use it just like a debit card. Thats how companies deal with the “unbanked.”

I am very confused. There is a picture in the link above of her carrying what looks like a carry-on small bag and an actual large crate. More for dogs then cats IMO. The most updated pic of her has blond hair but coworkers are saying she has brown hair with blond highlights. She was last seen 7/5 and 7/8 on busses however reported missing on 7/14. Who reported her missing and did she show up for work at all during the 7/5-7/14 time frame? She doesn't look to be packed for a long term adventure. IMO

I don't think I'm allowed to post it, but can point to a comment in all comments by "RW" who answers what Erica's service animal is (not cat or dog). But I don't know if that animal went with her?

Interesting that she took her pet / emotional support animal. This makes me think she will need to use her pay card, or cash if she withdrew it all, in order to care for herself and the animal. She would need lodging, maybe she is staying with a friend somewhere out of the area. I hope she hasn't been caught up in a trafficking situation.

UPDATED: 7/26/2022, The additional photos include an updated photo of Ms. Johnson, family and co-workers have stated that that her hair color is brown with blonde highlights. The updated photo also shows a small freckle on the lower side of her face.

LeeTran surveillance video showed Ms. Johnson at the Cape Coral bus station located at SE 47th Terrace on July 5th at approximately 5:37 pm and again at 05:21 am on July 8th leaving with a suitcase. Anyone with information regarding Ms. Johnson’s whereabouts can call (239) 242-3320.

Did she have to move out of the office building? Was she living there with permission? The small bag could not be all of her belongings? Could she be traveling?

 

[moonriverfarm]

Looks to me as if she left willingly. Maybe to work elsewhere? She has her bunny and its pen with her.

They say she doesn't have a phone but it looks like she is on the phone in the one picture. Are these pictures from different days as she's wearing different outfits in each one and I thought she didn't have a phone.

Cape Coral police investigators said Johnson was reported missing after she didn't show for a work shift. They said Johnson did not have a bank account or vehicle. She did not use a cell phone frequently and had little to no social media presence. bbm
