Her family has been desperately searching for answers.
Authorities continue to seek help from the public to aid them in finding out what happened to a partially blind woman from Miami-Dade County, Florida.

“She said, ‘I need my cart.’ I give her the cart, a pushing cart,” Clara Bell Johnson told WSVN in 2019. “She’s pushing the cart because she can’t barely see that good. I said, ‘OK, you come right back.’ She said, ‘I’ll be back,’ and she never came back.”
“Please, Caroline, if you can hear me. This is your sister, and you know I love you. I’m hopeful and I’m hopeful every day,” Johnson added. “I hope someone can give her back to us. Give her back to us.”
“Norris uses a red and black walker, and she has trouble with her vision,” police shared with the public. “When she left the residence, Ms. C. Norris was wearing a long, black wig.”
“Ms. Norris’ family members, alongside Special Victims Bureau detectives, will be seeking the assistance of the community to aid with this investigation,” Detective Lee Cowart stated. Officers, as well as community members, have gone door-to-door, handing out missing-person flyers. “We’ve done the investigative portion of this, and we’ve come up empty-handed.”
While speaking with reporters, Caroline’s daughter, Kimahyer, was understandably upset. “This is totally out of her character. Never has she ever done this before.”
