Update Saturday: helicopters still searching. Police on horseback combing the preserve near her subdivision. Many people driving around searching. SO is going out on his bike again.

Time is running out for this dear woman.

Thank you, my DU friends, for your words of support.

A dear woman, friend and former colleague who suffers from memory issues,wandered from her home yesterday afternoon. She has not been seen since.

Local law enforcement has been all over the area, with dogs, boats (Florida) and copters. People are driving around (including my SO) looking for her.

It's a residential area but being Florida, lots of waterways and wooded areas.

I don't have a good feeling about it. Any good thoughts are welcome.

12. Thanks

So worried for her.

[Laffy Kat]

3. At least it's not cold at night right now.

That is a long while to be out. Keep us posted.

28. Depending on what part fo Florida it could be very chilly tonight

Tonight here in Tallahassee it will be 65 F. While it is not rainy tonight, the ground is still damp and the dewpoint is 61 so it will be a damp chill - the kind that cuts through to the bone.

I hope the woman is found safe with no adverse effects.

4. Oh boy, wishing her well. And you too

[mcar]

Obviously you are correct about Florida. Don't forget that there is also a lot of asphalt. Hope she is safe.

More often than not they are found safe; try to keep positive.

[mcar]

15. LEO is all over it

I give them much credit.

[GallopingGhost]

36. Yes, and I think there's a special sense

of urgency when the missing person suffers from confusion.

Fingers crossed.

I wish her to find a safe harbor, mcar.

[mcar]

20. Thank you, she

I'm not feeling good about it. We must do more for our aging loved ones.

[sheshe2]

23. Yes we do, hon.

A lot of this is coming down to Dementia and Alzheimer. Hillary was going to do something about that...fund the research. Now we get nothing. Our parents, friends and we are all aging. Most of us will get nothing now. Dementia...Cancer....more...we are on our own now.

[mcar]

25. My friend was a nurse for 30+ years

Makes me so angry that she gave so much and now this.

[sheshe2]

52. For you and your friend.

I am sending good thoughts for a safe return. It's not easy, but I do hope you can rest and keep up your strength during this stressful time.

26. Thank you brer

It was such a shock. I hadn't been in touch with her lately. So sad about this.

[GeoWilliam750]

keep her safe from harm until she is found.

I hope your friend is found safe and sound.

[tavernier]

33. On positive side, the weather is warm.

Hope your friend is safe.

[mcar]

42. The rain ended but it got hot and humid

If she's been wandering since yesterday she's gotta be dehydrated at the least. She's a small but physically healthy woman in her early 70s and a nurse.

I can only hope her training has kicked in.

[Kleveland]

34. Thoughts and prayers for her safe return.

43. I hope her and her family are reunited in a positive way!

[mcar]

44. Helicopters still circling every 20 minutes

It's hard thinking of her out there confused and frightened. I feel so much for her family.

[bigtree]

45. Dad got away from a locked daycare facility in the rain

...turned up soaking wet in a neighbor's kitchen.

Hoping for the best.

[mcar]

46. There is shelter around

A few abandoned houses, and lean-tos in the preserve just east of her subdivision. SO thought she may have sought out shelter.

We still hope.

[Mountain Mule]

47. My Dad vanished from his assisted living home for 3 days!

We finally found him safe and sound in a pool room of all places (my Dad was not into pool even when he had his wits about him). Sending you best of thoughts - I understand all too well. May your friend be found by time my post appears!

[Sunlei]

48. good thoughts.

If she took daily walks, I suggest walking the paths she would take.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. Major vibes that she is found safe and unharmed, very soon, my dear mcar...

[murielm99]

50. I hope she is safe.

That happened to someone in our community a few years ago. She was found safe after two and a half days. She was sleeping in cornfields, and did not remember what happened to her. The hospital checked her out and she was okay. Now she lives in an assisted living facility. She is okay, but occasionally wanders mentally.

[still_one]

51. All the best that this turns out well

[irisblue]

60. Mcar any late day update?

[mcar]

63. They are still searching, iris

Expanded the search area but nothing yet. There are a lot of wooded areas and small lakes all around us here

SO was out most of the day riding his bike on the dirt roads and trails. It's pretty grim at this point.

It's always possible she took shelter in a shed or abandoned house ( a few around here). We're hoping but reality is setting in.

[NastyRiffraff]

61. Hope for her safe return

It's terrible when a friend is at risk.

[onecent]

62. Omg mcar. My thoughts and warm wishes to everyone involved in this

searching for your friend. I hope you find her before the night falls. Good Luck!!!
