Fatal Marietta death of Patricia Miele – Obituary
Patricia Miele, 89, was found dead on Monday, three days after she went missing from her assisted living facility, Greenwood Place, in Marietta. Miele, who had recently moved into the memory care unit and had shown signs of confusion, was last seen on Friday night at around 11 p.m. She was not reported missing until the following morning, and despite extensive search efforts involving multiple agencies, her body was discovered in a lake at Kennesaw Memorial Park, which is adjacent to the facility.
The Marietta Police Department, along with various local and federal teams, conducted thorough searches, including using drones, K-9 units, and watercraft. Police later confirmed that Miele had left her eyeglasses behind and was likely disoriented due to her impaired hearing. Though the cemetery lake had been previously searched with sonar, her body was found by a couple walking in the area on Monday morning.
Miele’s disappearance and death have raised concerns about the oversight of senior care facilities, particularly regarding video surveillance and facility accountability. Investigations are ongoing, but the police have yet to provide details about why there was no video footage to assist in the investigation. The facility has expressed condolences to Miele’s family but has not commented further on the case.
