OC 82-year-old’s disappearance called ’suspicious’

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif.—An 82-year-old woman is missing from an Orange County assisted living home, and a sheriff’s official calls her disappearance “highly suspicious.”
Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said Wednesday Sara Mowry left behind her walker, purse, hearing aids and medication at the home in Laguna Niguel, making it unlikely that she left on her own.

Mowry’s son reported her missing on Tuesday, when he called her and she didn’t answer, then visited the home and couldn’t find her.

Amormino says Mowry has no dementia or other mental trouble that might lead her to disappear on her own.

Authorities say they are looking at inconsistencies in Mowry’s bank accounts, and searching for a silver 2002 Toyota Tacoma pickup, but would not say how it might be connected to Mowry’s disappearance.
