Missing Person: One Year Later — Help Find Irene Frye
It has been just over one year since Irene Frye (66) was reported missing in February of 2025. She was last seen on foot in the area of Burke Road and College Avenue. Ms. Frye has been diagnosed with multiple cognitive impairments and has not yet been located.
Ms. Frye was previously reported missing in 2023 and was later found in Knox County, Tennessee. She grew up in Morristown, Tennessee, and may have attempted to return to one of those areas. At the time she went missing, she did not have access to a vehicle. However, neighbors and a passerby reported that she had been requesting a ride to Tennessee several hours before she was reported missing. She had also expressed interest in relocating to live in a “tiny home.” She has been known to use an alias such as Daphne Poston.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Ms. Frye is urged to contact the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office at 704‑484‑4822.
