Elderly Woman With Dementia Missing In Shelby Township

Wow, hope she’s found. I don’t live in MI but I do own a summer home in Shelby county.
It’s a pretty rugged, rural area. A lot of outdoorsmen, hunting, fishing, hiking, etc. They know the area well!
I think she’ll be found soon.
I’m concerned about the weather though. Hopefully she’s dressed for the elements.

Trudie,
To clarify, Shelby Township, where the woman was just found, is not in Shelby County. It is in Macomb County. 23 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue is part of Metro Detroit. That area is a heavily populated suburb with businesses all along Van Dyke Avenue, which is a main north-south artery running from Detroit. Subdivisions with nice homes are located behind the businesses on Van Dyke. There is nothing rugged or rural at all about that area.

Shelby (Charter) Twp. is in Macomb County. Shelby/Oceana County is on the west side of the state, along Lake Michigan.

I'm glad the woman was found and is safe.

Mike Campbell from WWJ was in the area this morning to help spread the word about our missing female. While in the neighborhood, ol’ Eagle Eye Campbell spots the lady and calls us. “She says she’s ok, just cold”. Welcome to Team Shelby, Mike! We owe you lunch! #TeamShelbyRocks
