Missing Sonora Woman Found Safe
View VideoSonora, CA — An 85-year-old Sonora woman was found safe Sunday night, with her dog, after they had gone missing on Friday evening while taking a walk.
A Silver Alert, noting that an elderly person was missing, was issued. There was also a full search and rescue effort throughout the weekend. Barbara Dee Crosby had last been seen leaving her residence at Skyline Place on Sylva Lane near Cabezut Road on Friday and was located in a wooded area near Bald Mountain Road on Sunday night by some community members, and then rescued by arriving emergency officials. Her dog was found first, and she was nearby. She was taken away by ambulance afterward for medical assessment, but was able to communicate with the arriving emergency responders.
The sheriff’s office notes that she was “found safe” and was “down a steep, brushy hillside off a roadway.”
