Wow only 41....that is very early onset if it is indeed dementia. The article said possible dementia or other cognitive issue. Wonder why that is unknown? 2 addresses were mentioned in the article. She went missing after "an incident" at the first address and was last seen near the 2nd address which is a 15 min car ride or 2 hour walk. There is no car description in the article to be on the lookout for so someone either gave her a ride or she walked.

Really curious to know what that incident was and what her mode of transportation was.

I was wondering about her walking or getting a ride also.No mention of cell phone, if she called someone for a ride.I wonder if she was cognitively able to be independent.There are no large bodies of water or heavily wooded areas nearby the station but there could be a retention pond.If she is lost I pray she gets help or can make her way to a church or shelter, been a little chilly in the evening.Not much to go on in the article, hopefully family or friends will speak out.

I have no idea what I did when I edited my post above.I replied at the bottom of the quote somehow.
Also, Why is there no description of what she was wearing? There has to be cameras nearby.

So does that mean she has been found safe? Deceased?

She has numerous FB pages, no posts that I can see, just profile picture updates.
