BAYSIDE -- The Humboldt County Sheriff's Posse will be conducting an extensive search this weekend for Joan Penderell Taylor, 63, who has been missing for 18 days and requires medication.
Taylor -- a daughter of Telford Taylor, who prosecuted Nazi officials at the Nuremberg trials -- was reported missing by a friend Nov. 25.
On Thursday, the Sheriff's Department said it is continuing its search for the missing woman who is described as white, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, 135 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a dark green rain parka, dark green rain pants and silver Nike hiking boots.
A Bayside resident had reported seeing Taylor walking on Jacoby Creek Road on the evening of Nov. 25.
Taylor's sister, Ellen Taylor, of Petrolia, said she last spoke with her sister about a week before she disappeared and that they had discussed plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"She sounded good and clear and happy," Ellen Taylor said. She described her sister as "not an athlete. She wouldn't go loping out into the countryside."
Ellen and Joan have a brother, John Bellamy Taylor, who lives in Manhattan.
Anyone with information on Taylor's whereabouts is asked to call the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department at 445-7251.
Taylor's father died at the age of 90 in Manhattan in 1998. He had taught law for many years at Columbia University. During the Nuremberg war crimes trials, Taylor, a U.S. Army colonel, helped write the rules for prosecuting top Nazi officials such as Hermann Goering and Rudolf Hess. He became the trials' chief prosecutor. After the trials, Taylor lectured on the moral conduct of the United States and other nations and was an early opponent of Sen. Joseph McCarthy and later spoke out against the war in Vietnam.
In 1986, during the Iran-Contra scanda , he said Col. Oliver North should not have taken the Fifth Amendment before the Senate Intelligence Committee and said evidence of genocide in Bosnia should be the basis for criminal indictments.
