KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The search for 74-year-old Margorie Neil Thompkins is over.
Kansas City, Missouri, police say Margorie was found safe Wednesday and will be taken to her home.
A Silver Alert was issued last week after Margorie dropped off around 9:26 a.m. on Nov. 17 at University Health Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. About five hours later at 2:20 p.m., Tompkins was seen getting into an apparently unknown black vehicle leaving the hospital.
That vehicle did not belong to the same transportation company that picked up Tompkins from Meadow View Health and Rehab in Harrisonville and dropped her off at the hospital Thursday morning. Police said the transportation company didn't pick her up from the hospital or take her back to the Harrisonville facility.
When she did not return, police said officials with the nursing facility reported her missing. That prompted police to issue a silver alert early Friday morning.
The I-Team reached out to University Health Monday.
On Friday, a spokesman said the hospital was conducting an internal review of Thompkins’ disappearance.
“Of course, the safety of our patients at University Health is always a top priority,” spokesperson Keith King said in a written statement. “We continue to work closely with law enforcement who are handling the silver alert."
