Missing woman found; relative arrested




Update: Missing woman found Alive

Wichita police arrested a 48-year-old woman Saturday after a missing 89-year-old woman was found just after 3 p.m. at a relative's house in the 3300 block of South Chase, near 31st South and Meridian.












Virginia Judd, who has dementia, and her dog, Ruby, were reported missing from her home in the 6000 block of West School Street, near Sedgwick County Park, at 8:30 a.m. today.



"We're looking at a dependent-person abuse situation," Sgt. Steve Yarberry said. "She was basically left alone."



Yarberry said the arrested woman was Judd's relative, but he would not elaborate. He said police would release no further details this weekend.



A relative who was in Missouri when he heard that Judd was missing returned to Wichita and went to the home on South Chase, police said. The relative saw Judd's dog through a window, broke a window to get inside and found Judd lying on the living room floor.



She was taken to Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Joseph Campus for examination.



Search dogs had been out looking for her, and Wichita Fire Department emergency workers used a boat to check a lake behind her house, where Judd lives with her daughter.








Apparently this old woman's granddaughter meant to do her in! Can you believe the world has come to this, when an old woman isn't safe with her own grandchildren? We have plenty room in the jail for her. Throw the key away.
