The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s assistance in locating a missing woman in the area. Olivia Simone Strong, 28, was last seen leaving her residence on Mandy Lane just outside Hillsborough early Saturday afternoon.

“Although she has been missing on several prior occasions, it is unusual for her to be away this long,” the sheriff’s office said in a release. “The length of her absence has caused increased concern for her well-being.”

Strong is described as five-foot-two, 160 pounds, with brown eyes and shoulder-length black hair with red tips. She was last seen wearing dark blue jean shorts, a white t-shirt with blue sleeves and blue and white shoes.

Anyone who sees Strong is urged to call 911 immediately. Those who know of her whereabouts should call investigator Kevin Stewart at 919-245-2925.
