A recent Silver Alert has concluded on a positive note as 80-year-old Georgia Rusciano, who was reported missing earlier this week, has been found.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Rusciano has been entered into FCIC/NCIC as a Missing/Endangered Adult.
In the issued Silver Alert, deputies indicated that Rusciano might have been in the company of another person, driving a green Dodge Charger with Florida tag BSN9W. While details of her condition and the circumstances of her discovery have not been fully disclosed, the news of her being found has undoubtedly brought relief to her family and local community. Driving the car that was bearing the Florida tag BSN9W, the model of it was a green Dodge Charger, indicating the deputies in relation to the vehicle Rusciano might be with.
The community's role in such situations is often vital, and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office had urged anyone with information on Rusciano's whereabouts to notify law enforcement immediately.
