Not in NamUs...was she located?

No news. Apparently she was in a retirement home and not an assisted living/nursing facility that had experience with Alzheimer patients. She pretty much just put on her coat and walked out the door. My Dad's place has a code you have to enter to leave the building and it changes regularly. If he wants to go outside (other than the interior courtyard) he has to be accompanied by staff or a family member.
