CARTER COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) - A family is searching for answers after Frances Byrd went missing in mid-June.

“It’s just unimaginable. I just feel like we’re in a dream, and we won’t wake up. It’s completely out of character for Franny, my mother-in-law,” Barker said. “When we didn’t hear from her, we just knew something inside was not right.”

Hmm. I have some theories but I will sit on my hands for now.

 

[Taffy550]

No update?

 

[EphemerallyAya]

Not liking the timeline here. Checked out of facility on the 11th? Went missing on the same day when she was with her daughter at that home… but her son doesn’t find out for 2 more days? That alone is confusing.

So this one is confusing. Is the daughter who checked her out of the facility missing too? If not, how does one lose their mother between checking her out and going home? Or do I have the timeline incorrect?

The daughter is not missing. This is the quote from the Sheriff's Office press release that is posted in the original post of this thread:

After speaking with her daughter, she stated Byrd left the residence around June 11, 2024 in the later hours of the evening. She was stated to have been getting in a newer white Passenger car with tinted windows.

Ok thank you. Some of the stuff I saw jumped straight from the check out to missing. I was like hmmm..thank you for clarifying

 

[Eli9]

I wonder what reasoning the daughter gave the medical staff when she went to check out her mother.
The story about her leaving in a white car sounds shady. MOO

 

[SweetDreamsAreMadeOfCheez]

Agreed. This story seems very shady indeed. I could believe her mother absconded later in the day since she has several issues. Where it loses me is her daughter seeing her get into a car in front of her house. JMO

 

[Taffy550]

The whole story is shady. Where is this little lady? Was someone wanting to collect their inheritance early? Jmoo

 

[Judy Sleuth]

I keep checking back here regularly and on MSM to see whether there are any new developments in finding this lady. Unfortunately, nothing that I've found. So sad.

From one of the WSAZ articles above:

“Byrd’s family said she’s known for her big heart.

“She’s a loving woman. She would never do anything to harm anyone. She would always give you her last dollar if she had one,” Barker said.”

My experience as a daughter whose father had dementia…
When my father’s dementia got advanced, he became mean and aggressive, and suspicious of others. I’m sure it may look very different for others with dementia, but the article also stated she had schizophrenia, and paranoia and delusions are often exhibited with that diagnosis, which can look similar.

So, it somewhat surprises me where the DIL paints a very different picture of what her MIL is like, which is not how I would imagine someone with dementia and schizophrenia. JMO. Interesting.

So, I wonder if the daughter found her mother Frances more than she could handle with the mother’s mental state. She had been advised by the facility not to
take her out, after all.

How did it happen that the daughter doesn’t know who picked her up, yet she apparently saw her get in the car? The articles say the mother “cannot walk more than 50 feet unassisted”, so you’d think she’d have seen someone helping her to the car. Where was the daughter at this time? I don’t get it. There must be a lot more to this story.

MOO

 

[modesty blaise]

Always a white car....

was signed out of a nursing and rehabilitation center by a family member
Who is the family member that checked her out?
Surely they know!

was last seen in the Cedar Run area of Carter County. She was seen leaving a home in a “newer white color passenger car” on June 11
And this house she was seen leaving? Is it the same family member’s?
Same can be asked about the white car?

I’m just as confused.

Elderly eastern Ky. woman with dementia checked out of nursing home against medical advice by daughter, then disappears. Reward offered | K105

A reward is being offered for information on the location of an eastern Kentucky woman suffering from multiple medical conditions after she was checked out of a nursing home against medical advice. Fr

www.k105.com

Here’s a June 28 article. According to it:

Frances Byrd, 72, was checked out of a Vanceburg nursing home by her daughter.

So the family member the daughter-in-law says checked FB out was a daughter?

Byrd’s daughter told police that her mother left her residence on the evening of June 11 and did not return.

The daughter said Byrd got into a “newer white passenger car with tinted windows,” according to the Carter County Sheriff’s Office. Byrd left the home, the daughter told police, “in the later hours of the evening.”

So the home FB was seen leaving is the home of the same daughter that checked her out?

If so, did she not ask where her mother was going? FB seems quite “fragile”; wouldn’t the daughter not go out to see who was driving the car? She’d have plenty of time to do so.


She was last seen June 11.
The sheriff’s office was notified by FB’s son on June 13 that he could not reach his mother.

Did the daughter just not say anything to her brother?
Did FB’s son not know his sister had checked her out 2 days earlier?

 

[sallye818]

Very upset and frustrated with this story. I hope the police have a good idea of what happened and are just trying to get evidence.

 

[sallye818]

@mlhenn Yes, to all of your questions. I think you're interpreting the article correctly. Sounds very sketchy.
