LONGVIEW — It’s been more than 35 days since Robyn Green saw her child Nathan (Carter) Green, a 26-year-old Longview woman with autism, leave their Columbia Heights home on Feb. 20. Now, she is asking the public to help find her.
Robyn Green told The Daily News her adult child, who goes by Carter, left her residence at Columbia Heights on Cascade Drive at about 11 a.m., heading to the ATM with plans to meet friends and then travel to Tacoma that evening. The following day, the family reported her missing.
Carter Green is listed as missing by the Washington State Patrol’s missing person’s website, which states she is 6 feet and 5 inches tall, weighs 195 pounds and has brown hair and eyes.
Longview Capt. Branden McNew said Carter Green has also been entered into the police’s national database on missing people. He said a police report says Carter Green was last seen walking 10th Avenue near Florida Street.
According to Robyn Green, she contacted one of her daughters’ friends hours after she went missing, but learned she never arrived. At the time of her disappearance, Carter Green was wearing a black hoodie with black joggers, black combat boots and a scarf around her head.
Her mother said Carter Green has autism along with other mental health issues. Robyn Green said her daughter sometimes believes her friends are attempting to harm her, or suspects people are rearranging her belongings.
Carter Green’s wallet, containing all of its contents, was found Feb. 28 at the parking lot of Bruno’s Pizza, located at 1108 Washington Way. Robyn Green described her child as unemployed, socially isolated and rarely going off alone. When Carter Green does venture off by herself, it’s only for a few hours.
Robyn Green said there have been sightings of Carter Green around the Kelso area, including the Safeway near the mall and Starbucks near Interstate 5.
Robyn Green said she’s been experiencing dreadful sleepless nights, and when she does sleep, she’s haunted by nightmares as her child’s location remains unknown. She compared her misery to having her heart torn out.
