The Plumas County Sheriff’s Office reports it is asking for the public’s help locating missing person Cheryl Taddei. Taddei has family in and recent ties to Greenville and Crescent Mills. Her family and the sheriff’s office say they are concerned for her safety due to the time that has passed without contact.
Taddei was last seen Wednesday, Nov. 19, at approximately 1:30 p.m., near the roundabout intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 407 in Upper Lake, Lake County, after she exited a vehicle during an argument and did not return.
She was reportedly wearing a t-shirt, blue denim skirt and black slip-on shoes, and was carrying a duffel bag, a backpack and several plastic grocery bags. She was accompanied by her tan Chihuahua. Taddei has distinctive tattoos, depicting images such as a tiger on her right shoulder and a spider, fairy and the name Johnny on her right arm. She is missing all of her upper teeth and does not have dentures.
PCSO asks anyone who has seen Taddei or recognizes her tattoos or dog, or who has any information about her possible location, to contact dispatch at 530-283-6300. Anyone experiencing an emergency should call 911.
