Her family is headed to the northern Ohio city to retrieve her, according to Centerville police.
FIRST REPORT
A Silver Alert has been activated for a 78-year-old woman with dementia who has been missing since this afternoon.
Mary S. Hufnagle left her home around 1:30 p.m. and is traveling with her black and white collie in a gray 2010 Chrysler Town and Country minivan with Ohio license plate FLM1303 and two bumper stickers “Pie” and “Dogs Ride Free,” according to the Silver Alert poster on the Ohio Attorney General’s Office website.
Hufnagle is described as standing 5 feet, 3 inches and weighing 140 pounds with gray hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a green coat and blue slacks.
Centerville police said they pinged her cellphone and that Hufnagle was the Perrysburg area near the Ohio-Michigan border headed north.
Hufnagle was twice in 2014 the subject of missing alerts, including when she became lost and was found in the same vehicle in Tennessee and later in the year when she was found at a gas station in Centerville after she was missing all day.
Anyone with information is urged to call 866-433-7661, Centerville police at 937-433-7661 or 911.
