It's actually a short distance, albeit quite the haul for an elderly women.
Cut across behind the hospital and the beginning of kressler road is right there.

You're right... it's really not that far away. Crossing Cedar Crest Blvd couldn't have been easy, but she didn't have far to go on Kressler.

Devastating. Bless you Audrey!

How could someone not see her? That area is hugely busy and she would have needed to get to Kessler road. So sorry for Miss Audrey.

I believe she left in the wee hours of the morning.
Near the hospital, even at 3am there is activity and no doubt no one thought twice about seeing her.
The back roads are dark and not traveled at 3am. Such a tragedy but I can totally see how this happened knowing her probable route.

It seems that the facility was searched for 3 hours before the family was notified.

3 hours?
oh boy
Someone gave that direction...

I read it was a locked facility with a key hard, so she couldn't have snuck out. Hopefully the autopsy will provide answers

I bet someone left a back fire exit door (within the locked area) ajar to grab a smoke. The alarm is just a switch.
You have to prop it open to get back in.
Door probably wasn't shut correctly and/or alarm not switched back on.

Yup! I didn't think of that. Ugh. So preventable

Lehigh County Coroner said Friday that the exact cause and manner of death couldn't be determined due to the advanced stages of decomposition, but there was no evidence of trauma or foul play.
