On the morning of September 6, 1988, 73-year-old Lily Mae Huff wandered away from the Welcome Haven Nursing Home in Winchester, Virginia where she only lived for 3 months. After having breakfast she was waiting in the hall for one of the aides to bathe her. She would then leave through the dining room's patio door, the only one that did not have a bell attached. She has Alzheimer's and had a history of wandering away which resulted in her usually being restrained to a wheelchair. A five-day search was done by local law enforcement with no results.
It's unknown what happened to her after she left. She could have wandered somewhere and succumbed to the elements or met with foul play. In 1992 one of her sons placed a $15,000 reward for information leading to Lily's whereabouts. Shortly after an anonymous letter came to the family stating that she was abducted outside of a Safeway supermarket by an older couple into their car. The writer later came forward, and it's unknown if their information was helpful in this case.
Lily is a white female and was 73-year-old at the time. She's 5'2" and 150 lbs. She has grey hair and brown eyes. She's wearing a beige nightgown under a loose-fitting blue dress with red and white stripes, ankle socks, blue slippers, and a gold chain watch. She wears bifocal glasses.
