In a turn of events that brought closure to a week-long search, 76-year-old Karen May Taube, the subject of a recent statewide silver alert, has been found safe, according to the Denton Police Department. Taube was located this morning in a Houghton Lake, Michigan, hotel, with her sister Eva Haron, incidentally not on the list of people authorized to make contact under Taube's court-appointed guardianship.
The silver alert went into motion last Monday, after Taube was reportedly taken from Willow Bend Assisted Living & Memory Care in Denton by her sister, Haron. It was a situation that echoed familial tensions often unseen behind closed doors, quietly playing out in public under the auspices of legal and law enforcement scrutiny. Taube's subsequent identification in Michigan came with a commitment to her safety: she was sent to the hospital for evaluation, on a slightly precautionary measure, soon to be escorted back to Denton under her guardian's direction.
Legal complications loom as the Denton Police Department, working in tandem with the Denton County District Attorney’s Office, contemplates charging Eva Haron with "Interference with Rights of Guardian of the Person. " The charge underscores the weight of legal guardianship and the ramifications when it’s disrupted, as reported by the City of Denton.
