An elderly Tigerton woman who went missing Tuesday afternoon was found safe and in good health in Forest County, the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.
Beverly Kasperek, 81, left Tigerton about 2:30 p.m. to go shopping in Clintonville and Shawano, according to authorities. The family reported her missing about 11:30 p.m.
She was located around 7 a.m. Wednesday in Forest County.
Capt. Tom Tuma said Kasperek went to a location in Forest County that she frequents, but didn’t let family members know.
He said as soon as Kasperek learned people were looking for her, she contacted her family.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice sent out a missing and endangered adult alert overnight. It did not issue a Silver Alert because Kasperek had no signs of dementia or cognitive impairment.
