QUEENS (PIX11) — The family of a 68-year old woman with dementia was pleading for information Sunday after Lynda Garraway vanished during a trip on the “A” train near the Rockaway Boulevard Station in Queens.

Garraway was heading toward Far Rockaway when she disappeared.

The family said Garraway was last seen on Saturday, Oct. 29, about 5:35 p.m. on the “A” train. She was wearing a black jacket with a brown and cream fur hood, they said, along with grey wool pants, white Nike sneakers, a white hat, pink purse, and carrying a NY football shopping bag.

The family asked anyone with information to contact NYPD Detective Daniel Gallagher at (718) 712-2279 or the Detective Borough Queens South at (718) 969-5005 and shared an NYPD poster seeking information.

BROOKLYN (PIX11) — A Queens woman who has extreme memory loss and got stuck on the “A” train Saturday was found Monday sitting on the floor of a Dunkin’ location on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn.

A woman noticed Lynda Garraway, 68, and thought she looked like the missing Queens mom of two. After she checked a missing photo online, police were contacted.


Garraway’s sister, Patricia Lebrun—who got off the train Saturday before Garraway got stuck in the crowded subway car — was busy posting missing person flyers at the “A” train station in Ozone Park when she got the good news.

Lebrun started bowing toward the ground and praying when she heard her sister had been found.

“I’m extremely happy,” Garraway’s son, Wendell Hayde, told PIX11 News from the train station, saying it helped that the family was so vigilant raising awareness on social media.

“It proves that it helps when you really need it,” Hayde said.
