SACO — The Saco Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in the search for a missing Saco woman who was last seen at the Maine Mall.
Saco police have issued a Silver Alert for Victoria Rich, a 24-year-old resident of Saco, according to a press release sent early Saturday afternoon from Maine Department of Public Safety Public Information Officer Shannon Moss.

She is described as a 5-foot-4 inch white woman weighing 150 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She has intellectual disabilities, and was dropped off at the mall as she does not have a vehicle, said Moss.
