I agree about the cellphones. All elderly people should have them, even just for walking around the neighborhood.
It’s a shame the women were missing for three days before anyone knew of it.
Folks, call your elderly moms, pops, grandparents, aunts and uncles every day. If for an reason you can’t, then pay someone to check on them daily. You owe it to them.
Yes, a cell phone is very important these days. Even if it’s just carried for emergency. At least the police can use the GPS on it to locate someone.
I dont know these 2 women and I’m not sure they informed their family of this trip, but it didnt sound like a trip to the local shopping mall. Maybe they should of went by bus. And yes i agree, you dont have to be old to get lost or have a car break down...so carry a cell phone!!
