Tsering Wangyal was last seen in the 9500 block of Bronx Place, where she lives with her husband, on July 15 around 4:00 p.m. Her husband was asleep at home at the time when Wangyal slipped out.

The new surveillance image shows Wangyal on that same day around 6 p.m. in Evanston at the Levy Center.

Her daughter, Tenzin Wangyal, believed she was probably headed to the Tibetan Alliance of Chicago Community Center, where she was to attend an event that night. However, she never showed up. She left home without her cane, phone or ID.

Search intensifies for missing 82-year-old Skokie woman Tsering Wangyal, last seen nearly 1 week ago

It's been nearly a week since an elderly woman was reported missing in north suburban Skokie. Her family and friends ramped up their search efforts Sunday.

*****
The search intensified as dozens of volunteers gathered at Evanston's Tibetan Alliance of Chicago to get their marching orders. It is there where Tsering Wangyal's daughter, Tenzin Wangyal, believes her mother was trying to get to when she disappeared Monday afternoon.

*****
she was spotted on camera leaving her condo just across the street from Old Orchard Mall around 4 p.m. A surveillance photo released Saturday shows her at Evanston's Levy Senior Center around 6 p.m.

Her family believe she must have gotten on the 97 bus to get there, though CTA have yet to provide them with surveillance footage to confirm this.

*****
Because her English was limited, friends and family believe Wangyal might have had a hard time asking for help if she ran into trouble. A grid search of the area surrounding the Senior Center was being done today with volunteers told to go door to door.

The local news (Chicago) has been keeping the coverage going for this lady. My best friend lives in Evanston - crime wise - it's a pretty safe area and really not that far from her home, not walking distance, but an easy bus ride, likely with no changing busses.

Oh no, she looks like the sweetest elderly lady. Prayers she is found soon.
