LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Authorities are attempting to locate a missing Plumas County woman last seen near Upper Lake last week.

Cheryl Taddei, 52, was last seen at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, near the roundabout intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 29 in Upper Lake.

There, she exited a vehicle during an argument and did not return, according to the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office.

At that point, Taddei was reportedly wearing a t-shirt, blue denim skirt and black slip-on shoes, and was carrying a duffel bag, a backpack, several plastic grocery bags, and accompanied by her tan Chihuahua. 

She is described as a white female, standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 125 pounds, with green eyes and brown hair. 

Authorities said Taddei has distinctive tattoos, including a tiger on her right shoulder and a spider, fairy and the name “Johnny” on her right arm. 

Taddei has family and recent ties to Greenville and Crescent Mills in Plumas County. 

“Her family and our office are concerned for her safety due to the time that has passed without contact,” the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media statement.

If you have seen Taddei, recognize her tattoos or dog, or have any information about her possible location, please contact Plumas County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch at 530-283-6300 or in an emergency call 911.
