Family of Critical Missing Person Lillie Sanders and South Central Patrol officers organized a search this morning of the area that Ms. Sanders was known to frequent.  Joining the search were off-duty members of the Dallas Sheriff’s Office, who, upon searching an abandoned shed behind an abandoned house near Owega Avenue and Ramona Avenue, found a slightly dehydrated but alive, Lillie Sanders!

Ms. Sanders appeared to have made some preparation as she was found with a pillow and a change of clothes among other items.  She was immediately transported to Parkland Hospital by Dallas Fire Rescue ambulance for examination and treatment.  

Members of the Concord Church will assemble a group of volunteers today at 4:00 pm at the church, located at 6808 Pastor Bailey Drive in Dallas, to canvass neighborhoods and distribute flyers in an effort to locate Lillie Sanders, missing since Sunday.  The groups will canvass areas where Lillie was known to have lived or frequented.  The flyer is below.
