New Castle County police are actively searching for a missing 48-year-old woman after she vanished Monday evening from a local neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities have activated a Gold Alert for Sharon Figueroa, who was last spotted in the area of the unit block of Lea Road at approximately 5:15 p.m. on Monday, January 5, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police officials report that Figueroa’s intended destination remains a mystery, making the search efforts more challenging for investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite conducting thorough search operations, law enforcement officers have not been successful in tracking down Figueroa or establishing contact with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Castle County Division of Police continues to investigate this disappearance and is asking anyone with information about Figueroa’s whereabouts to come forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
