former member of the classic singing group the Platters has been missing in New York City for days



A former member of the classic singing group the Platters has been missing in New York City for days, and her family is raising the alarm. Sandra Hall, 80, has dementia and was last seen on Friday afternoon boarding the subway near the Atlantic Terminal Mall, reports the New York Post. "Sandra is more than just our mother—she is a warm, vibrant woman who once brought joy to audiences as part of the Platters," said her daughter, Star DaSilva. "We just want to bring her home safely."
