Police say missing woman, caregiver have been found and are ‘okay’

A 91-year-old woman and her caregiver who went missing on Wednesday afternoon have been found.

Colorado Springs Police say the pair are okay and that Search and Rescue has been dispatched to assist them.

Joy Bilhartz, a 91-year-old who has dementia, and 31-year-old Michelle Hull were headed for a picnic around 11 a.m. at the Mount Herman area. They were supposed to return by 2 p.m. but never did.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office says they spent the night in the car and began walking this morning. They called for help as soon as they were able to establish a cell phone signal.

The full circumstances surrounding their disappearance are not yet clear.
