I recall her this morning.

She was asking for money and complained about having no food or anywhere to go.

The daughter offered to give her a bus ride back to Michigan.
00:36
Mother’s response was, I'll just kill myself.
00:40
They did a phone ping on the mother’s phone and this is approximately where she is.
00:48
They do not have a clothing description.
00:51
What do you have there?
00:53
Let's do this.

I asked the complaint taker to call Van Buren back to see if they can remember her clothing descriptions, to give something besides just a 40-year-old female.
01:27
Yeah, I'm clear, the 36.
01:32

Yeah, the thing is in the air in the back of 472.

It looks like there’s a little alley that runs east and west back there.
02:07
It should be anywhere in that area.
02:09
I did ask, like I said, complaints.
02:11
I recall the embarrassment that can get to some sort of clothing.
02:18
