“She said that she walked across country from Washington State,” Norwood Police Jeffrey Krapels told NBC 4 New York. “She wasn’t giving us full stories. She cant remember her name. She doesn’t know where she is, and when she does talk, she just talks about her service in various wars.

The woman—whose name is being withheld—is believed to have been missing for six months, according to published reports.

“I always turn around: How would you feel? If I was missing a loved one. Do all you can to get them home. Thats all.” Krapels told NBC 4 New York.
