Police are using a drone, tracking dogs and help from volunteers as they search for an elderly woman missing from Hamilton’s east end.
The drone has been deployed over King’s Forest Golf Course, near the area where 80-year-old Shirley Love was last seen walking on Tuesday afternoon.
Cam Briggs, a member of Shirley’s extended family, said she was last seen walking southbound near Glendale Golf Course after leaving her apartment building on Mount Albion Road.
“She has developed over the last few months, and it progressed pretty rapidly – she’s got Alzheimer’s,” said Briggs, “we’re getting pretty concerned, at this point.”
Residents living in the Mount Albion area are asked to check their properties for Shirley, who is described as white with an average build and short light brown hair.
She was wearing a grey jacket, black pants, grey shoes and grey-and-black gloves.
“Everyone, friends and family are out trying to help,” added Briggs, “there’s quite a presence out there.”
