UPDATE: The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office reports Miranda was found in Boca Raton, which seems awfully far to shuffle in an afternoon. Will update if we find out how she got that far.

Palm Beach County officials put out an announcement today looking for help in locating 75-year-old Amelia Miranda, who they say wandered away from her home at 928 SW M St. in Lake Worth shortly after noon Thursday.

Officials said Miranda is five feet tall, weighs 160 pounds, and "she walks slow." If you see her, call the sheriff's office at 561-688-3400 or 911.
