Police arrested Clark, but it’s unclear if he knew her or if he’s considered a suspect in her disappearance.
“Everyone is thinking that maybe she was driving her car and she had a medical incident with her diabetes and may have passed out and veered off the road,” her sister, Patricia Evans, said.
Meanwhile, Miles’ loved ones continue to search for her, describing her as a social butterfly who spends time at church and volunteering with various organizations.
“She’s a part of so many organizations. She gives so much, she’s constantly volunteering,” Miles’ friend, Danessa Bolling, said, ABC 13 reports.
“She’s always light, and now everything feels dark because we don’t know where she is,” Bolling said.
Evans said she fears for her sister’s safety due to her diabetic condition, which requires regular insulin.
“We just want Karen home,” Bolling said.
Miles is described as a Black female who stands 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs around 190 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact MCPD at 281-403-8700.
