UPDATE: About the police search at Westcrest Park

(WSB photo, police @ Westcrest)

6:15 PM: If you’re wondering about the police search in Westcrest Park – they’re looking for an 82-year-old woman who’s been missing since about noon. We don’t know her name – there’s been no official public alert so far – and police don’t have a photo, but she may have a white Jack Russell Terrier with her; she reportedly was dropped off at the Westcrest dog-park area with two dogs around 10:40 am and was supposed to be picked up at 11:40. The other dog was found, loose, at the park, within the past hour. The only description we have is that she is white, with curly white hair, 6 feet tall, and usually uses a walker. If you have any information, call 911 – the case number for reference is 24-152647.

8:05 PM: The missing woman has just been found, safe – according to police radio, she turned up at Shree’s at Detroit/1st, saying she needed a ride home, which officers are now providing.

    From Westcrest Park to Shree’s, are there trails that lead down the hill through the greenbelt? Or did she bushwhack it down?  She must have a sturdy walker! Good to hear she is safe and asking for a ride home after that trek!

    Bless her. Welcome home. Many, many people are happy you are comfortable and safe tonight. Be well.

    Any idea if they found the dog with her as well or is it still missing?

      I don’t know. At first I thought I heard something about a dog in the “it’s her” conclusion but then later an officer asked dispatch if they knew the name of the dog in case someone called in about it … Haven’t received any lost-dog reports so far tonight. – TR

    Not sure if anyone is still following up on this one but have there been any updates on the Jack Russell terrier that was with this lady? It just may be there are enough people reading that can help look for/rescue the little one if it’s missing. If the lady walked through rough terrain to get from where she started to Shree’s the dog may be lost in the woods or wandering the streets, scared and alone. So worried…

Sorry, comment time is over.
