Big Island police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a missing 74-year-old woman who may be suffering from dementia.
Her name is Elizabeth Christensen and she lives on Captain’s Drive in the Fern Forest Estates subdivision.
She was last seen at 3 p.m. Monday (May 15, 2006) near the Fern Forest community association building. She was on foot and was wearing blue jeans, a yellow sweater and a blue jacket.
Christensen is usually accompanied by a medium-size brown dog with medium-length fur and a red collar. The dog also has not been found.
The woman was reported missing Thursday evening. A ground and aerial search Friday along with the use of the Hawaii Police Department’s bloodhound, Tucker, turned up no signs of her.
