A community appeal is seeking the family of a Telugu-speaking woman in Dallas who has reportedly remained near a Downtown Dallas court area for several days. The unverified social media post says she is waiting for her husband and may have links to Plano or Frisco.
Community appeal spreads across Dallas
A social media appeal is asking residents in North Texas to help locate the family of a Telugu-speaking woman who was reportedly seen staying near a court area in Downtown Dallas.
According to the Instagram post being circulated, the woman has remained near the location for about four days and primarily speaks Telugu. The information has not been independently verified.
The post says she has told people nearby that her husband would come to pick her up and that she continues to wait for him.
Possible identity shared online
The appeal gives the woman's possible name as Devbhakti Manogya and estimates her age at between 45 and 60.
Those details should be treated as unconfirmed until verified by the woman, her relatives or authorities.
The post also suggests that she may be familiar with the Plano or Frisco areas, two North Texas cities within the wider Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.
Telugu community asked to help
“If you encounter someone who appears lost or distressed, here’s what to do safely in the U.S.”
The appeal is being shared in hopes that Telugu-speaking residents, Indian-American community groups or someone familiar with the woman may recognize her and help establish contact with her family.
Anyone who believes they know the woman or her relatives should avoid publishing sensitive personal information publicly. Credible information can instead be passed to appropriate local authorities.
The social media post lists the Dallas Police Department non-emergency number, (214) 671-4268, for people who may have relevant information.
Privacy remains important during search
Community sharing can help information travel quickly, particularly when language barriers make communication difficult. At the same time, unverified claims about a person's health, family circumstances or living situation can create privacy and safety concerns.
Until additional information is confirmed, the circumstances surrounding the woman's presence in Downtown Dallas remain unclear. The immediate focus of the community appeal is identifying relatives or trusted contacts who may be able to assist her.
“Families searching for a loved one can also follow these first steps when a family member goes missing in the U.S.”
