I don't know if this is the same Darlene Wilson but I found two reports of a woman by that name with dementia, (or cognitive issue) missing in 2010 and again in 2019. The article from 2010 is here. Silver Alert and the Franklin County News online report from 2019 here.

It's unfortunate the Chapel Hill PD waited a month to release the alert. I saw nothing about this in local news or social media before this press release.

The address is adjacent to Carolina North Forest, a popular area for mountain biking, hiking, and running, on land owned by the university, UNC Chapel Hill. It's about 750 acres of mostly forest with gravel roads, single track trails, and some paved greenways.

I would agree if that is the situation. She may not have been reported until just recently for some reason.

Good point. FWIW there is an Oxford House in the block where she was reported as last being seen. Those are group homes so they could have been hesitant to report her as missing if they thought she might perhaps have gone somewhere else. Not sure if she was a resident there or not, it's just speculation.
