Silver Alert Canceled: Elderly Woman Missing Near Phoenix Is Safe

PHOENIX, AZ — Authorities have located a 73-year-old woman with dementia that went missing on Wednesday, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said.

Katherine Susan Mueller was last seen at 6 p.m. Wednesday leaving Anthem's Merrill Gardens assisted living facility in a red, 2018 Lexus ES350, with license plate "KEJ58," the office said.

Mueller was found in an undisclosed location on Thursday morning and is safe, the office said.

Mueller suffers from dementia and her diminished cognitive abilities hamper her ability to drive at night, the office said.
