Welfare Check for Missing Woman at Lakeview Apartments, Painesville Township

Summary: Law enforcement was requested to perform a welfare check on a woman, identified as Tricia Cotrill (possibly also known as Tricia Telso), at 43 Lakeview Apartment B in Painesville Township, Lake County, Ohio. The request originated from her daughter, who was concerned after not hearing from her mother since approximately 1:00 PM the previous day. There is a known protection order against a James Barnes on behalf of Tricia, and she may be in his company. A blue Kia van with Trumbull County tags registered to James was mentioned as possibly being involved. Officers checked the location and nearby areas, observed a vehicle arriving, and attempted contact at the residence, but did not locate Tricia or the vehicle. The original missing person report was taken by Fairport Harbor Police Department.
