The search for a missing 75-year-old woman in Orange County entered its second day Thursday.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office is searching the woods and area around the New Hope Volunteer Fire Department for Maryanne Rosenman.

Rosenman has dementia. She was last seen around 6 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Her husband reported her missing from their home on Stoneridge Drive in Chapel Hill

Her home is about a mile from where the command post is set up at the volunteer fire department.


She was last seen wearing a blue-green nightgown. She has blonde hair and a medium build.

Orange County deputies along with other law enforcement teams will be out searching for as long as it's still safe for officers.

Three new teams came out with dogs to search Wednesday night. They left out around 8:30 p.m.

Deputies say Rosenman has wandered off before but was found quickly.

Authorities are asking the public to check their sheds and homes; even around their property in briars and thickets. Authorities said people with dementia tend to wander toward those types of areas, particularly if they are seeking shelter.

Crews found Maryanne Rosenman around 11:25 a.m. in a drainage ditch in a wooded area off Whitfield Road. The area is between her Chapel Hill home — where she was last seen wearing a nightgown and sneakers — and an area where a driver spotted her earlier Friday, according to a news release.

ABC11, The News & Observer’s news gathering partner, reports she was found about a half-mile from her home in the northern part of Chapel Hill. She was “alert and communicative,” Sheriff Charles Blackwood said, according to ABC11, but was taken to UNC Hospital where she is “expected to recover.”
