Relief spread across the community of Garland, Texas, as 81-year-old Wanda Meyer Offord, who was reported missing, has been found safe. The Garland Police Department confirmed the positive outcome, stating efforts are now focused on reuniting her with her family. Offord, whose disappearance triggered a Silver Alert, was located after she went missing around noon on Sunday. This update came just days after the initial report of her being last seen in the 900 block of Medio Drive.
Offord suffers from Dementia and requires medication, which added to the urgency of the search. According to the Garland Police Department's official Facebook page, she was believed to possibly have been in New Summerfield, Texas. The information, gleaned from tips from her family, proved to be a vital clue in piecing together her whereabouts.
Before she went missing, Mrs. Offord was last seen driving a black 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix, notable for a Dallas Cowboys star sticker on the back window and bearing the Texas license plate DC6B979. She was described as a white female, about 5'2” tall, weighing 200 pounds, with hazel eyes and grey shoulder-length hair. Her last known outfit was a black Halloween-themed shirt with the words "Old Bat" emblazoned on the front, a detail that may have helped identify her.
