NCSO locates reported missing 76 year old female from Houston

02/23/2024

This morning is not a recovered stolen vehicle to report.

At approximately 1:30 am this morning, NCSO Deputy Hernandez located a disoriented 76 year old female walking on the service road of I 45 near the 220 milepost who had been reported missing by Houston P.D.

After obtaining medical attention for the female, Deputy Hernandez located her vehicle in the area parked in standing water over the roadway near Richland Creek on the Northbound service road. Her family in Houston was contacted so they could arrange to be reunited.

This was what we absolutely hope for, a positive outcome to what could have easily become a potential tragedy.
