St. Petersburg Authorities Confirm Missing Woman Amy Davis Found Safe
Amy Davis, a 58-year-old woman who was reported missing earlier this week, has been located and is confirmed to be safe, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Davis was last seen in the early morning hours of June 17, 2025, at approximately 2:15 a.m.
The search for Davis began when she was reported to have walked away from the Bostic Assisted Living Facility, located at 3586 53rd Avenue North in St. Petersburg, Florida. Following her disappearance, authorities entered Davis into the Florida Crime Information Center/National Crime Information Center (FCIC/NCIC) database as a Missing/Endangered Adult, leading to heightened concern for her well-being.
At the time of her departure, Davis was on foot and was described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing around 180 pounds. She was last seen wearing a distinctive brown dress, which aided search efforts as authorities and community members worked together to locate her.
Community Involvement and Alerts
In response to her disappearance, a Purple Alert was issued for Amy Davis. This type of alert is specifically designed to assist in locating missing persons who may be endangered due to mental health issues or other vulnerabilities. Community involvement played a crucial role in the search, as residents were urged to keep an eye out for Davis and assist law enforcement in their efforts.
The collaboration between local law enforcement and the community underscores the importance of vigilance in situations involving missing individuals. The prompt activation of the Purple Alert system allowed for a rapid dissemination of information, providing a greater reach for search efforts across the area.
Background Context
The Bostic Assisted Living Facility, where Davis was last seen, is equipped to provide care for individuals who may require assistance with daily living activities. The facility is situated in a residential area of St. Petersburg, which can pose its own challenges during a search due to the number of potential pathways and nearby communities.
Incidents of individuals going missing, particularly among older adults and those with mental health concerns, are not uncommon. The establishment of the Purple Alert system in Florida was a significant advancement designed to enhance public awareness and ensure that vulnerable missing persons receive prompt attention and support from law enforcement agencies and the community.
Following the confirmation of Davis’s safe return, the authorities expressed relief and gratitude for the support received during the intense search period. They reminded the public of the importance of keeping an open line of communication regarding the welfare of individuals who may be at risk.
For families and caregivers, the incident serves as a somber reminder of the vulnerabilities that some individuals may face. It is crucial for caretakers and family members to remain vigilant and prepared in order to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
While the story concludes on a positive note with the safe recovery of Amy Davis, it emphasizes a broader conversation about the need for systems like Purple Alerts, community awareness, and ongoing support for vulnerable populations.
