The missing Centralia-area elderly couple who went missing Friday night near Everett were located Sunday evening in Ballard.
Police asked for the public’s help in locating a Centralia-area elderly couple who went missing at 11:30 p.m. Friday after a family argument at a Denny’s in Everett.
Family reported Florence L. Fisher, 92, of Centralia, and James L. O’Neal, 85, of Centralia, missing Saturday afternoon, according to Centralia police.
Fisher and O’Neal left Centralia on Friday for their daily drive but instead of staying near town as usual, they took a road trip to Everett, according to KOMO 4. After arriving in Everett, O’Neil ran a red light and got into a minor traffic accident. The police officer advised him not to drive, and his son came up to get them.
When he arrived, however, O’Neal apparently got mad, and drove away from the scene with Fisher, according to Centralia police. The pair was traveling in a dark blue Pontiac Vibe.
Fisher has severe dementia and O’Neal has first stages of dementia, according to KOMO. They were found two days later after they stopped a passerby in Ballard for directions at about 6 p.m. Both were transported to a local hospital for a check-up and O’Neal had shortness of breath.
