A 74-year-old woman who had been reported missing by her family has been found this afternoon just outside of Laramie, WY. She is safe and is with Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers. Her family is en route to Laramie to pick her up.

 

Betty Begin didn’t show up for a family dinner on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, and her family became concerned and contacted Boulder police. Earlier today, the Boulder Police Department issued a news release asking the public for help in locating Begin, who was last seen yesterday afternoon. Begin suffers from some memory issues, and family members told police that she sometimes becomes disoriented.

 

This afternoon, May 29, 2013, Begin apparently ran out of gas on Interstate 80, just outside of Laramie, WY. Begin had been driving in the fast lane, and was reportedly nearly hit by another driver when she ran out of gas. The Wyoming Highway Patrol was notified, and a check of Begin’s record showed that she had been reported missing in Colorado.

 

Begin was with her dog, Buddy, and both are safe. Family members are on their way to Laramie to pick them up.

 

At this time, police have no further information about Begin’s activities between the time she was reported missing and the time she was found.

 

The Boulder Police Department would like to thank the Wyoming Highway Patrol, the public and the media for their help in publicizing this case and ultimately locating Betty Begin.
