Sheriff's deputies ask for help finding missing Key Peninsula woman with dementia

She was last seen near the Vaughn Civic Center in the early afternoon hours Friday.

Haije has short hair dyed red, and was last seen in a blue nightgown and green rubber clogs while walking toward Wright-Bliss Road Northwest along 105th Street Northwest. She has dementia and likely is confused, and wouldn't know where she lives or whom to contact.

Haije has been known to walk into homes in the area or hunker down in the area.

I looked for any updates but don't see any :( I hope she is okay, how scary! One of those articles mentioned that someone may have picked her up before search and rescue efforts started. That is disturbing! My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

From the article - June 24, 2018:

Multiple crews working with dogs fitted with GPS devices for mapping purposes found no indication she went beyond the area at the bottom of her street, and no scent was found on the other side of Wright Bliss Road, the fire department stated.

"Search-and-rescue did grid searching in all the areas indicated by dogs and search parties went well beyond those areas," the post stated. "A plane with infrared came out Friday night and ... the Fire Dept with their infrared devices came out to help Friday as well."

Authorities believe Haije could have been picked up by car prior to search-and-rescue teams arriving on Friday around 2:30 p.m.
