This case really bothers me. Folks with liver damage or disease that distend the abdomen is indicative of fluid in the abdomen(ascites) and a sign of a progressed level of disease. The notation of “slight dementia/confusion” is possibly due to waxing and waning levels of toxins affecting cognitive function, hepatic encephalopathy. It can result in confusion, including mania or other agitation, with reports including combativeness and bursts of physical strength and stamina they don’t typically possess. So, she could have theoretically managed to get to her car and independently drive away if in a state such as that. However, prolonged hepatic encephalopathy can be deadly, graded on a scale from 0 to 4, with grade 4 as comatose state. It requires medical attention to resolve in the early stages, and certainly as it becomes more frequent. Seizures as well? Could be asterixis, the seizure appearing flapping of hands during HE episode when arms are held outstretched. or true seizures, which is another huge safety concern.

The above is my opinion backed with much research and much experience with a loved one in a very similar medical situation. In my personal experience, GI bleeds often resulted in the onset of HE symptoms, which is a safety issue, too, and I hope wherever, and maybe if with someone, that Mrs. Annie could obtain appropriate care. To have found no trace of her or her vehicle is very concerning. I’m not certain if I’d prefer she left with someone or alone.

Her car still hasn't been found?

It doesn’t seem so, which leads one to wonder where it might be. Water is my first, albeit not positive, thought. The second is someone disappeared it after taking Ms Annie and the car. The third, which is admittedly wishful positivity, Annie is living her best life somewhere, perhaps pleasantly confused, yet relatively physically well(as much as some of her chronic issues can be maintained)and in good spirits.

Missing woman’s car found in lake

A Pontiac Gran Prix belonging to Annie Lee Hampton was pulled from Bear Creek Lake in Lee County Wednesday afternoon. The Adventures with Purpose group had finished its work on a different case in Arkansas when they decided to spend their extra time search for Hampton, who had been missing since October 2019.

Adventures with Purpose, a non-profit group that travels the country solving cold cases, located the body of who they believe to be 66-year-old Annie Lee Hampton, who has been missing since Oct. 10, 2019.

The non-profit group traveled to Marianna and began their search at the river that was nearest to Hampton's home, which ended with no success.

The group decided to travel to a second location, Bear Creek Reservoir, where they were able to locate and identify a vehicle that was 29-feet underwater by using their sonar.

Two of the members of the non-profit, Doug Bishop and Jacob Grubbs, were able to pull the Arkansas license plate from the vehicle after diving on top of it. The license plate matched that of Hampton's missing Grand Prix.

The area's sheriff along with local police and state park rangers arrived on the scene and the organizations worked together to remove the vehicle, where they confirmed there were human remains inside.

The non-profit, along with local authorities, are waiting for an autopsy to confirm the body is that of Hampton's.
 
The lead diver with AWP, Doug Bishop, said they feel a great responsibility to find loved ones, especially in smaller towns where it’s more likely more people know a person, someone like Annie Lee Hampton.

“They expressed how much Ms. Annie meant to them, the community, and they were completely embracing, and they were really hopeful we were going to be successful that day,” Bishop said.

Bishop said they were able to locate the vehicle about 25 yards from a boat ramp on Bear Creek Lake, which is about 30 feet deep.
