*****Update******

Mrs. Short was returned home last night after she was found in Portland.  She is unharmed and in good spirits.  No further details are available at this time.

 

On Saturday, August 17, 2019, at about 2:39 p.m., Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 12600 block of SW Butner Rd. to take a missing person report.  Deputies were told that 63-year-old Mae Short had walked away from her home at that location.

Deputies were informed that Mrs. Short has late-stage dementia and is unable to speak coherently.  She becomes easily disoriented and will not be able to find her way home. She has a hard time walking and usually uses a walker, however she did not take it with her.  She is also diabetic and did not take her medication. 

Mrs. Short is most likely wearing a grey cardigan, pink shirt, pink flip flops, and carrying a black purse. Her family said she was at the house at about 9:00 this morning.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team has been activated to help locate Mrs. Short.

Deputies are asking anyone who has seen Mrs. Short today to please call the non-emergency line at 503-629-0111.
