Where was Amy McIntosh last seen? Online community offers support in search for missing mother

Amy McIntosh, a mother of two from Clay City, Kentucky, has been missing since May 3, 2023. In a Facebook post, Amy’s daughter Courtney expressed concern for her missing mother, who was reportedly last seen in Fairdale, Louisville, with an individual named Doug known to be driving a black Ford F-150.

In a desperate bid to find her missing mother, Courtney took to social media and shared images of her mother Amy McIntosh, who has not been heard from since the early morning of May 3.

In a Facebook post, Courtney said that her mother missed her sister’s baby shower, which was considered out of character for the missing woman who had promised to attend the festivities.

The post said that the authorities have been notified, and an update on May 15 stated that there was still no word from the missing person, adding that an officer was on his way to Derby City to check if Amy had been sighted around the area. Part of the post read:

“My mom is missing, she was last known to be in Fairdale (Louisville) with some guy named Doug in a black Ford F-150. She missed my baby sister's baby shower which is not like her, especially when she says she will be there. No one has seen or heard from her since early in the morning May 3. If I have any friends here from or around Louisville please share and help find my mom. Louisville metro has filed a missing person report.”
