Missing Upper West Side Woman With Alzheimers Found Safe: Police

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — An Upper West Side woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease reported missing on Saturday has been found safe at a Bronx hospital, an NYPD spokesman told Patch.

Debreh Gilbert, 63, was reported found Wednesday at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, the NYPD spokesman told Patch. Gilbert was reported missing Saturday after walking away from her husband while shopping at a Rite Aide on Broadway and West 110th Street around 4:55 p.m on Saturday, police told Patch. Gilbert was reported missing by her husband, police said.

"Within less than two minutes I was there and usually she’s right behind me and she wasn’t there, wasn’t in the aisle we left her in," Gilbert's husband Scott Kegelman told CBS New York. "I ran around like a maniac."

An NYPD spokesman could not confirm at what time Gilbert was found Wednesday.

This is a breaking story. Patch will update as more information becomes available.
