🌱 Missing Woman With Dementia + Pedestrian Accident + Poker Tourney

Hi there, Reno. I'm here in your inbox per usual to get you up to speed on everything you need to know about what's going on around town.

But first, today's weather:

Partly sunny and cool. High: 56 Low: 27.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Reno who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Reno Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:

1. The Reno Police Department is asking for the public's help locating an elderly woman who went missing late last week. Jeanne Milet,77, was last seen at her house on Coronado Way on Oct. 22. Police say she suffers from dementia and short-term memory loss. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the police immediately. (FoxReno.com)
2. A pedestrian is suffering from life-threatening injuries following a traffic accident on Monday night. The incident occurred when the vehicle involved, which was traveling north on McCarran Boulevard, turned right onto Mira Loma Drive. The driver remained on the scene after the crash and is cooperating with the police department's investigation. (KOLO)
3. The Peppermill Poker Palooza takes place in Reno this week, giving a boost to the city's tourism industry. The inaugural poker event features more than 30 tournaments and will be hosted in the Peppermill's Capri ballroom. Tournaments will run all week long.
