Fayetteville, N.C. — A Fayetteville woman, who had been missing since Saturday evening, was found safe at a gas station on Monday.

Investigators found Dorothy Bryant, 70, of 3255 Lubbock Drive, at the BP station at Highway 301 and Owen Drive at around 12:30 p.m. Two Fort Bragg soldiers saw Bryant and notified a deputy, who was patrolling the area.

When the deputy approached Bryant at the gas station, she appeared to be disoriented, but in good condition.

Bryant, who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease, was last seen at around 7 p.m. Saturday, dropping off her granddaughter at a hockey game at the Crown Coliseum. Family members said they were worried when Bryant did not return to pick up her granddaughter.

I think this is very sad. Number one, if my mother is known to have alzheimers the last thing I would let her do would be to carry my kids anywhere. I would be scared not only for their safety but the also the safety of my parent. At times these people seem okay, functional, but then they forget where they were, where they are going, who they are. I'm happy that they found her alive and I hope no harm came to her.

Ok so the ladys daughter is TDY but someone knew granny was "lost" someone involved knew the situation and if the daughter does she needs to request status change and get back state side.

my dad had a stroke while driving home in the Oxford area a few years ago and the police stopped him trying to drive out onto the boardwalk in Atlantic City NJ the next morning. It's tuff getting old.

If she has Alzheimer's, how do the authorities know that the lady who was found is not someone else who also has Alzheimer's who is pretending to be Dorothy Bryant. Could be a stolen identity situation.
