“Two years ago she was diagnosed with dementia, so we have taken her car away from her,” said John Tormey, Carol’s son. “Sunday, my dad took a nap and he woke up and the car was gone and she was gone.”

How can all 3 air tags stop working at the same time? Water? This doesn't sound good.

The family said the AirTags in her purse and car are no longer working.

Fort Lauderdale elderly woman with Alzheimer’s, dementia goes missing

Authorities and family members are searching for a missing elderly woman.

Carol is believed to have left her Fort Lauderdale home along the 1500 block of South Ocean Lane.

License plate readers show she traveled north on US-1 to Deerfield Beach before turning around and heading back south, where the truck was last spotted near Sheridan Street and A1A, but relatives could still track her.

“We have air tags with her,” said John Tormey. “There is one in her purse, one in her keys and one in the truck, and those were spotted going west on Miramar (Parkway).”

It’s there the Apple air tags could no longer be traced.

“All three were destroyed at the same time, or the signal was lost at 12:44 a.m.,” said John Tormey.

South Florida family desperate to find 81-year-old mom suffering from dementia

It is a mystery as relatives say she left her Fort Lauderdale home in a pickup truck she had not driven in 2 years.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com

They say information from the air tag in her vehicle shows that she drove around Fort Lauderdale and up to Deerfield Beach and then headed back south to Dania Beach before ending up in Miramar.

As he passed out flyers near S.E. 15th Ave. near the 17th St. Causeway, John Tormey spoke about his mother.

"My dad woke up around midnight Sunday and noticed the car was gone and so her called me and my sister and my sister called me. We tracked her vehicle from Fort Lauderdale to Deerfield Beach to Fort Lauderdale and back down to Dania Beach and Hallandale Beach and then to Miramar at Miramar Parkway and Southwest 172nd Avenue where we lost track off it at 12:44 when the air tags in her keys, vehicle and purse were somehow disabled," he said.

If her and the truck are not in the water, they could be in heavy brush. Depending on the speed when she hit dense foliage, it could have damaged & disabled the air tags.

I wonder if the McDonalds camera picked up the truck turning around.
 
Isn't this the area that the recovery team just five into looking for her?

The article mentions the car found with the body inside matches descriptions of a vehicle missing with its occupant circa. 2018 in the local area.
Seems they have solved one missing persons case during their search, here’s hoping there’s still a chance Tormey is still out there alive.

The car's license plate matched that of Carol Tormey's 2018 black Chevy Colorado, police said. She was last seen on July 21 in Fort Lauderdale.

People who wanted to commit insurance fraud would push their vehicles into canals. Then claim it was stolen, collect the money and LE would never find the vehicle. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of these vehicles were reported stolen years ago.

That soothes my soul a bit.

I hope none of them have human remains inside.
