A 27-year-old Mashpee resident last seen in Portland, Oregon, has been reported missing.
Mykilee Driver was last seen at 12:40 a.m. Nov. 12 in the parking lot of Gateway Park apartments in Portland.
Driver’s mother, Zarahra Overton, said her daughter was visiting her when she got into a Lyft and did not return.
Overton said Driver was having a mental health episode before she disappeared. She called the police, but Driver declined treatment. She then called for a Lyft and left.
Driver was diagnosed last year with psychosis, Overton said, and has had mental breakdowns in the past. Since her diagnosis she received help, including counseling from Indian Health Services, and she seemed to have gotten better, Overton said.
Driver has always been in touch with someone and it is not like her to not talk to anybody, she said.
Driver is 5 feet, 4 inches and weighs about 100 pounds. She has fair skin and brown eyes.
Her hair is normally brown, but she likes to wear wigs, Overton said, noting her favorite wigs are blond, purple and lavender.
Overton said her daughter could be in Oregon, or she could have returned to Massachusetts. She called many hospitals looking for her, but she has not had any luck.
Driver, who is Assiniboine and Sioux, has been a resident of Mashpee for about eight years. She is a mother of three children who are members of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.
