Currently, the weather is 21F, and it was much colder at night I really hope that Patricia has found shelter.

Ugh tonight's Plattsmouth temps from Accuweather:

Sure hate that she left with no shoes and no coat. Unless someone picked her up, how far could she have actually gone with these temperatures before becoming hypothermic? I hope they're also checking every vehicle parked in the area she went missing in just in case she climbed in one.

It doesn't give an exact address - just 300 block of 5th street - so my map is inexact, but you don't think she could have made it to the river do you?

This is what I was afraid of from the way the PD update was worded -- Patricia was found deceased. When they don't say "found safe" I always worry.

RIP Patricia. I hope the end was easy for her - I'd like to hope that she just laid down and went to sleep with no pain or worries.

I'm sure this wasn't how her friends and family wanted it to end, but at least now they can lay her to rest.
