Maria Del Carmen Contreras was last seen about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4, at her daughter’s home on Lakeland Drive in Dacula. She has several medical conditions that require round-the-clock care and when her family went to wake her at 2 a.m. Thursday for a medical treatment, she was not in her bedroom.
