Missing woman found safe and sound

Missing woman found safe and sound - Braintree, MA - Braintree Forum: "An alert neighbor found a missing 84-year-old woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease after he looked out his Forest Street window and saw her lying against a stockade fence among his bushes, said Deputy Police Chief Russell Jenkins, who did not identify the woman.

“It is unknown just how long she was lying in the bushes or exactly when she left her home,” Jenkins told the Forum. “Her daughter last saw her at 9 p.m. on June 2 when she went to bed and discovered her missing at 7:45 a.m. on June 3.”

The daughter called police at approximately 8 a.m. after discovering that her mother was not in her room and finding the front door to her McAndrew Road home open.

Using canines, an all terrain vehicle, and an infrared camera that detects body heat, police launched a search of the neighborhood. "
