YOUNGSTOWN

Police say they are concerned about a 78-year-old woman who has been missing from her Katherine Street home.

Detective Sgt. Darryl Martin said the daughter of Corrine Lawson, who lives with her, last saw her on May 14, but she was not reported as missing until Thursday by another relative who is 90.

Martin said that Lawson also has not shown up for her part-time job at a local funeral home, and members of her church also are concerned about her because she has not been seen there.

Martin said relatives and friends of Lawson he has talked to told him that it would be unusual for her to go somewhere and not tell anyone.

were no signs of foul play.

Additionally, Lawson’s car is broken down and still in her drive, Martin said.

Lawson’s daughter is Sheila Lawson, a former municipal court administrator and FBI agent who was arrested and accused of beating her father in March 2012. She had served as court administrator from December 2008 to March 2009, when she was fired.

Anyone with information on Corrine Lawson can call Martin at 330-742-8250 or 911.
