UPDATE, March 28 | Police say that Rademacher has been in touch with family and made it to her destination safely.

ORIGINAL STORY, March 27 | Police in Kansas City, Missouri, are working with Florida authorities to locate a woman who intended to fly to South America.

Margarita Rademacher, 78, was last seen on Sunday after being dropped off at Kansas City International Airport at 4 p.m., according to KCPD.

Rademacher, who is diagnosed with dementia, spoke with her family early Monday, but she's not been heard from since.

Police said she intended to travel to Colombia and that investigators determined she boarded a plane to Florida late Sunday night.

KCPD said investigators will work with authorities in Florida to figure out where Rademacher went after arriving in Florida.

Rademacher was last seen wearing a red v-neck, white t-shirt and jeans. Police do not believe she's in the Kansas City area.

Anyone who sees Rademacher is asked to contact the nearest law enforcement agency or call KCPD Missing Persons Unit at (816)-234-5220.
