A retirement-age woman who went missing over the weekend safely returned to her home Monday.
Loretta Frederick, 73, disappeared Saturday after she left a friend’s home at 44th and K streets in the Mount Hope area of San Diego, according to sheriff’s officials.
Frederick, in the early stages of dementia, told family members that she was going to take a bus to go shopping and to a casino, authorities said, adding that when she failed to return the next day, her daughter reported her missing.
Sheriff’s deputies declined to say where she was.
