Lynn Perry, 56, was reported missing from her residence in Andover, Vermont, during the overnight hours of July 27, 2015. Vermont State Police list the case as connected to Windsor County and NamUs records give her last contact as July 27, 2015. At the time she was reported missing Lynn was described as living or staying in the Andover area and as having Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.

She was last seen wearing blue pajamas—reported with a clouds-and-stars or night-sky pattern—and believed to be carrying a pink blanket; some accounts say she may have left without shoes. The initial report said Lynn’s daughter saw her around midnight and thought she might have been sleepwalking inside the home, but by morning Lynn was gone and authorities treated the situation as a search-and-rescue emergency.

More than 200 people joined an extensive search by air and on foot, with Vermont State Police, Fish & Wildlife, firefighters, game wardens and others canvassing Andover and nearby towns, and officials urged residents to check outbuildings and sheds where someone with dementia might hide. NamUs describes her as a White female, white hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 5 inches and approximately 180 pounds (other early reports gave a lower weight).
