BEDFORD COUNTY, VA. (THECOUNT) — A sad ending has come Wednesday to a five day search for missing Virginia woman, Lina “Pat” Toot.
Officials, who have been searching for the 83-year-old since last Friday, say Toot’s body was recovered in a creek near her Moneta home on Wednesday.
Toot went missing from the area of her home sometime on Friday, according to family members.
Toot suffered from a form of Dementia called Sundowners, according to reports.
The family said her caretaker arrived to her home around 11 a.m. Friday and noticed the door open with all her stuff still inside.
Family spoke to her around 8 p.m. the night before and she didn’t pick up when they called her the next morning around 8 a.m., reported WSET on Wednesday.
Volunteer divers with the Scruggs Diving Team checked every inch of a pond on Toot’s 100 acre property on Tuesday.
Divers made the grim discovery while back on the property Wednesday morning.
