MIDDLETON, Idaho — The Canyon County Sheriff's Office asked for the public's help in finding an elderly woman with dementia who went missing on Saturday morning. She was later found safe at 7 p.m. Saturday.
A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said the woman, 78-year-old Marla Rae Vail, was reported missing from the Middleton area at about 10 a.m. Saturday after a home healthcare worker couldn't find Vail during a regular visit to her home on Farmway Road in northwest Middleton.
One of Vail's neighbors told police that they hear the truck start up at about 1 a.m., when her son, Marlin, wasn't there. The sheriff's office added that they believed that Vail took Harley, her Australian Shepard dog, with her.
