Kansas City Missouri Police Department (KCPD) continues to search for 39-year-old Marina Bischoff, who was last seen leaving the Shoal Creek Patrol Division, 6801 NE Pleasant Valley Rd., on the morning of May 28.

Twelve days later, the Children’s Mercy Hospital social worker is still missing.

Bischoff was arrested around 10:30 p.m. on May 27 for a DUI and leaving the scene of an accident. She eventually returned to the crash and refused an ambulance at the scene, telling officers that she had been drinking, Sgt. Jake Becchina said.

She was detained at Shoal Creek Patrol, and was released on a signature bond the next morning at 7 a.m., per COVID-19 protocols to reduce detention populations of non-violent offenders.

Detention staff deemed her competent to be released and she left the station with everything she arrived with, according to KCPD.

Becchina said she had access to a phone to make calls, like all other arrestees, while she was in custody.

Witnesses saw her walk east from the station to a neighborhood at Crystal and Corrington before coming back to Pleasant Valley Road. She was then seen walking toward I-435, which was the last sighting.

Becchina said her family reported she had been depressed leading up to her disappearance.

In conjunction with police, nearly 100 volunteers have searched along I-435 from Pleasant Valley Road to Brighton Avenue. Missouri Search and Rescue canines joined the search, which included the wooded areas surrounding the Shoal Creek Patrol Division.

Bischoff lives near 152 Highway and Indiana and frequents a church in South Kansas City, according to police.

Bischoff is a 5’3” white female with brown hair and eyes, and weighs approximately 110 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone who has information about her whereabouts is asked to call the KCPD Missing Persons Section at (816) 234-5136.
