From the Mt. Lebanon Police Department website:
Mrs. Henderson has been located and returned home safely. At approximately 5:15pm, an acquaintance who had seen the coverage of Henderson’s disappearance, spotted her in the parking lot of Eat n’ Park Restaurant on Banksville Road. She appeared to be in good health and was reunited with her family.
MLPD wishes to thank the following agencies for their assistance today in locating Mrs. Henderson: Mt. Lebanon Fire Department, STAT MedEvac, Allegheny County Search Mgmt Unit, Allegheny County Search & Rescue, White Oak Search & Rescue, Fayette County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue, PA Wilderness Search & Rescue, Air Search, Castle Shannon Police & Fire Departments, Dormont Police & Fire Departments, Salvation Army, and the multiple media outlets for spreading the information.
Special thanks to all of the residents and passersby, who offered assistance, provided information and joined in the search. The efforts of the community definitely made the difference in returning Mrs. Henderson safely to her family.
It is comforting to know that there are so many agencies willing to help. Thanks to all.

When I was able to pull off the road and speak with Jane, I recognized her as a member of my church and also someone I sang with at special events for our friends at Brookline church. May God bless that gentle dear woman and her family. She has given much to many in her lifetime and thank goodness our community including Elaine and our police officers care as they do.

Strange and wondrous how things work out.

Indeed.

Thank you Charlotte and the many people that helped in getting Ms. Henderson back home.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to share that Mt Lebanon Police/Fire Department have been promoting a search and rescue program called Emfinders. With funding from Mt Lebanon Partnership, residents of MtL can receive a discount for the system. If you know anyone that might be a high-risk wander (adult/child) please visit the Mt Lebanon Fire Department's website and look under the Community Outreach link. Emfinders is the last option on the listing.
If you have any questions feel free to contact the police or fire department.
Many thanks to all involved today!
Here is the link to Emfinders:

It is a miracle that Charlotte spotted her. I would never have noticed her. You done good, Charlotte!

Kelly – I actually thought of your project today. It is such a good idea, how frightening for anyone involved in this kind of situation whether it is the lost individual or loved one.
Elaine – Without your blog post and picture I would not have been tuned in to the situation. I was waiting for traffic to clear at the Priory and decided to read my blackberry to pass the time. Thank you for being there to answer my call and help me with the description.
It is a miracle, but I was simply the instrument for the man upstairs. Without a church life, I would have never have had the inkling that I had met Mrs. Henderson before when I saw her picture and that amazing inner voice never would have told me to turn around. I am so thankful.
