Thelma left the house at 7:20 a.m - to take a hike around her usual park.
She was reported missing at 10:30 a.m.
Remarkably fast.... Gone 3 hours, not a full day, nor two days, just 3 hours.
Would be quite the thing, if other families did the same thing? Or, is there a common sense reason for families to hold off - hoping that their loved one will have a change of heart and return home?
Perhaps Thelma was always on time - never late for anything and never for her grandsons birthday party - that raised early alarm bells?
Media said "reported missing", I assume the police were called.
If so, did the police cruise around the area to see if they could spot her?
Did her family also check her usual walking routes to look for her, before calling the police?
It is a bit frightening to think that this grandmother could just vanish into thin air.
No citizen reported seeing her at the park, therefore I wondered; perhaps she did not go to that particular area on that fateful morning, deciding to take another route.
But on the other hand, her glasses and cell phone were located 4 days later in her usual park.
If the glasses and cell phone had been there for four long days, one would think it would have been found on day one, the day that she disappeared. Cell phones can be spotted on the ground. I cannot picture the cell phone lying there for four days. I mean, it must have been visible, in order to be discovered in the first place!!
What happened to Thelma??
Such a mystery!!
