We received an early morning call to help search for a woman who suffered from Alzheimer’s that had been missing all night. We met at the CDF substation in Valle Vista to start our search. A team was deployed to search the river bottom to cut for tracks and another team to search a large field of weeds in case she had fallen down. While the two teams were starting their assignments a deputy noticed that an empty house had a broken window. Upon investigation, he discovered the subject asleep inside. She was a little hypothermic but otherwise okay. Another breakfast at Hamby's and off to work we went.
