An 81-year-old woman from Oregon was still missing early Friday after she left a University of Wisconsin Hospital parking lot in Madison and did not come back.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice issued a Silver Alert for Patricia Connor, WHBL reported. She was last seen about 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12.
A Short Errand That Did Not End
Connor had left to get her car and pick up her husband, CBS 58 reported, but she never returned. She was seen pulling out of the UW Hospital lot and heading south.
As of 7 a.m. Friday, officials confirmed she was still missing, according to WMTV.
What To Look For
Connor has blue eyes and brown hair and weighs about 115 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black zip-up fleece and dark pants.
She was driving a white 2017 Honda CR-V with Wisconsin license plate AZJ2933.
Why This Is A Silver Alert
The alert said Connor was believed to have dementia or another cognitive impairment.
A state Department of Justice Silver Alert brochure describes the notice for a missing person who is 60 or older and is believed to have Alzheimer's, dementia, or another permanent cognitive impairment that poses a threat to their health and safety.
How To Pass Along A Sighting
Anyone with information was asked to call the UW-Madison Police Department at 608-264-2677.
Local officials told WMTV they were having trouble distributing details because of ongoing Microsoft outages. The plate number and that phone line remain the direct way to report a sighting.
