The Butte-Silver Bow Law Enforcement Department is attempting to locate a woman it says has not been heard from since Monday morning.

According to Undersheriff George Skuletich, Deanna Hinton left her residence on the morning of March 4. The person who made the report said Hinton might be depressed following the loss of her job.

Skuletich said police have attempted to reach her on her cell phone, and they believe her phone was last pinged in the Whitehall area on Tuesday.

Police described Hinton as a 43-year-old white female; 5 feet, 125 pounds with short brown hair and green eyes. She may be driving a 2005 Silver Pontiac G-6 with Yellowstone County Plates 3-8437C.
