WESTLAND (WWJ) - Police in Metro Detroit are searching for a missing endangered woman believed to have dementia after she went to meet up with friends and never showed up.
Michigan State Police issued an Endangered Missing Advisory for Carol Lou Gerber, 83, after she was last seen in the area of Highland Rd. (M-59) and eastbound I-96 in Howell while on the way to see friends at a Coney Island in Westland on May 9th.
