Noone said anything about them having dementia. WEST DAYTON is an extremely dangerous place for two elderly WHITE women. It is a high crime area that is almost all black. White’s are resented there. They would have known this. It was stated that one of the women kept getting lost while driving. That is a symptom of dementia. West Dayton wouldn't mean anymore than being in the country to these women if they are in an agitated state. I work with the elderly, and when they get anxious for any reason, including those who don't have dementia, they can become confused and/or angry. Hard telling what they might do.

Please take the time to read the information and responses from the family. They did not “keep getting lost.” They had gotten lost before and found their own way home. Obviously, they know how to solve that kind of problem. EVERYONE GETS LOST SOMETIMES. This does not mean “dementia.” I know elderly people in their eighties and nineties who are sharper mentally than many young people.

It has been said repeatedly that they have physical problems and could not walk far to get help. They may have had car trouble, or run off the road where brush hides them from view, or are stuck at the end of some dirt road. They are very unlikely to go to west Dayton themselves. It is too far off their route. They live close enough to Dayton to have heard the news reports of the violence in west Dayton. That is why I am wondering why the search would concentrate part of its efforts on west Dayton. Has the search expanded or did they receive a tip that has not been given to the public?
