This situation sounds a lot like an Ambian "episode". I know they said she didn't take sleeping pills but maybe someone loaned her one because she was having trouble sleeping. I've told this story before but on a Christmas night, my father in law managed to leave our house around 2 a.m. in his pj's and barefeet. He walked into people's homes and roamed around while they were sleeping.
Luckily we got a call from our community guard who knew my
father in law and saw him standing in the middle of the road wet and shivering so my husband jumped in the car to pick him up. He managed to walk a mile. We figured this was the beginning of dementia but it turned out to be the Ambian!
