According to Wayne County Sheriff Tim Catron a 74-year-old Wayne
County female has been found injured but alive after she was reported
missing.
On February 6, 2025, at approximately 8 am a neighbor of the female
reported to the Wayne County 911 Dispatch Center she was last seen
around 2 or 3 pm the previous day and did not show up for dinner.
Wayne County Sheriff Office Deputy Joe Horne and units with the
Monticello Police Department began a search of the area for the female
along with the reported vehicle she drives. The 911 Center contacted
Verizon and had the females cell phone pinged for a location. The ping
showed the cell phone was in the Nancy, Ky. area. The Pulaski County
Sheriff’s Office searched that area including the National Cemetery
where the 74-year-old females’ husband was buried. Pulaski County
Sheriff Office was unable to locate or make any contact with her.
Wayne County Sheriff Office Deputy Horne entered the lady as missing,
and a Golden Alert was issued for her.
At approximately 4:30 pm the 911 Center received a call from a female
about a car parked behind her house on Spann Hill Water Tower Road
here in Wayne County after her 5-year-old granddaughter noticed the
vehicle sitting there. The caller also stated that she could see a female
was lying in a field that was caught up in a barb wire fence.
Multiple agencies were dispatched to the scene including Deputy Jerry
Coffey, personnel from the Wayne County Emergency Service and the
Wayne County Rescue Squad. After being removed from the barb wire
fence the Wayne County Emergency Service transported the 74-year
old female to the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital for treatment.
