SHELTON - Police need help identifying a woman who hasn't spoken since last Thursday morning when she flagged down a police officer and said she was sick.

"From that point on she has not spoken again to us and she hasn't spoken to hospital staff," said Sgt. Kevin Ahern.

The woman, a white female between 25 and 40 years of age, remains at a local hospital, Ahern said. Hospital staff suspects she may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, he said.

She was walking on Bridgeport Avenue by Nells Rock Road on Thursday morning when she waved down a patrol officer and said she felt ill while holding her stomach, police said.

She has sandy blond hair and blue eyes. She is about 5-feet-5-inches, 175 pounds. She has a heart with a blue vine tattooed on her lower back, police said.

The woman wore a gray T-shirt, white Converse All Star low top sneakers, Lucky Brand olive green cargo shorts, a Christian Dior gold and black watch and expensive undergarments, police said.

She had a Mother's Day card signed "Love Keegan" with pictures of a girl and a boy around 3 or 4 years of age, police said.

Anyone with information regarding the identity of the woman is asked to call Shelton Police at (203)924-1544.
