Ruth Ekholm, 86, disappeared from Twig Home 2, an adult foster home for people with memory loss in Twig, Minnesota. Ruth had Alzheimer’s and could be confused and disoriented; she was in otherwise good physical health, 5 feet 8 inches, about 130 pounds, white hair, blue eyes, and wore thick eyeglasses. Descriptions of her clothing that day vary between a short‑sleeved white blouse and a black turtleneck, with light green slacks, brown oxford shoes, and a tan purse.

She had previously wandered from St. Ann’s Residence but was found then, and had past ties to eastern Duluth, Billings, Montana, and Portland, Oregon. Despite extensive searches, no trace of Ruth has been found and the Saint Louis County Sheriff’s Office continues the case as open.

Does anyone have memories of Ruth or saw her in Duluth in August 1991?
