A woman reported missing Sunday was found later in Illinois, authorities said.
Authorities had sought information about the missing Texas County woman who was last seen Saturday morning at Licking.
The Texas County Sheriff’s Department issued an endangering silver advisory for Lela Elinor Wolf, an 85-year-old white female, who is 5-4, 120 pounds, white hair, blue eyes and fair complexion.
She was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweat shirt, shirt, scarf, jeans, blue tennis shoes and glasses. Wolf has a scar on her nose.
A missing persons unit within the highway patrol said Sunday afternoon that Wolf has the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s and possible dementia.
Her vehicle — a silver or grey 2013 Oldsmobile Alero with a license number of CA8H9M — was last seen at about 9 a.m. Saturday at Licking. The state patrol said early Sunday evening she had been found in Illinois.
Authorities said Wolf was possibly en route to University Hospital in Columbia and was believed to be without medication.
