Elderly Woman Found Wandering Alone in Brooklyn Sephora, Police Say

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, NY — A mystery woman between the ages of 80 and 90 was found wandering alone in the downtown Sephora branch at 210 Joralemon St. with a set of keys dangling from her neck around noon Saturday, according to the NYPD.

Police still hadn't been able to identify the woman by late Tuesday evening.

The unidentified senior is "an Asian female who does not speak English," police said in a news release issued Tuesday. "An interview with an interpreter revealed that the female's speech was incoherent and she could not provide a name or contact information for friends or relatives."

Cops described the woman as standing around 5 feet tall and weighing about 100 pounds.

When she was found Saturday, the woman was wearing a green, red and blue sweater; a black winter hat; black pants; black shoes and a set of keys "tied around her neck by a string," police said.

The NYPD is asking anyone who recognizes the woman to contact police at 1-800-577-TIPS — or, for Spanish, call 1-888-57-PISTA.
