Found
According to New York authorities, Flora Stevens was missing — for 42 years. Then the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office learned of some bones that had been found. Spoiler: they weren’t hers. But the discovery prompted Det. Rich Morgan to query some databases, and discovered that Stevens’s social security number was being used. He and a partner drove to a Massachusetts nursing home, where resident Flora Harris looked at an old ID card of Stevens’s and said, “Me!” Records show that Harris had been in nursing homes elsewhere too, but it’s not clear why she ever left Monticello, N.Y. Dementia limits her ability to communicate, and she has no living relatives. (AC/NBC) ...Was she ever lost to anyone but the state?Original Publication Date: 05 November 2017
