A missing woman with diminished mental capacity was found safe and sound in a house in Smyrna, the spokesman for the Marietta Police Department said late Saturday.

Marietta and Smyrna police detectives located 43-year-old Camellia Serena Warren about 9 p.m., nearly 19 hours after a man allegedly coaxed her into a black, older model Crown Victoria outside a Windy Hill Road Shell gas station and drove away, Marietta police spokesman Officer David Baldwin said in an emailed statement.

Because of her severely diminished mental capacity, Warren’s family members worried that she would not know how to get help, use a phone or find her way home if left in unknown location, he said.

Earlier in the day, authorities located the Crown Victoria at an undisclosed location, but not Warren or the man, who frequents the area of Windy Hill and Hawthorne roads and goes by the nickname “New York.”

His whereabouts were still unknown late Saturday.

Anyone with information about the man is asked to call 911, Det. Shane Merritt at 770-794-5324 or the Marietta police anonymous tip line at 770-794-6990.
