The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office sent out a missing persons alert Tuesday afternoon for an at-risk woman out of Redwood City.
Margaret Woodman, 67, did not return from a walk around 1 p.m. She was last seen in the 100 block of Arch Street near Hopkins in Redwood City.
This is the third time in roughly three weeks that Woodman has gone missing. Her husband said she suffers from Alzheimer's and likes to go on walks, especially around Courthouse Square downtown.
The first time Woodman went missing, last month, she was found all the way over near Stanford University.
If you see Margaret or know her where-abouts, call 9-1-1 immediately.
why not humans. this way if she takes off you can find her and pick her up or have her picked up.
My father has full blown Alzheimers and goes on walks all the time but my parents live outside of a city with very little going on. My mother has her hands full, he acts like a five year old, even tantrums, he is to the point where she does not know what to do or how to take care of him any more, she is also scared every time he goes on a walk now :( My heart goes out to the family of this woman and I hope that they can get the help they need, it would be great to have both sides of the story, yes, but the obvious thing is something has to be done differently to be able to keep her safe. An other reason for concerned is the fact that most people with Alzheimers gets disoriented, lost and scared very easily. This is a very serious situation, a very difficult for all parties involved. It is not fare for her to walk around alone to the point of getting lost. Good point Lucia, what do people do if they can't take care of an older sick person and can't afford the proper treatment or facility???? My Mom and I would like to know also.
I have a call into the RWC Police Dept to see if they have any suggestions or maybe we can pool a fund to get this woman one??
