What jmitw wrote. You need to get the police involved. Also spread the word to her neighbors, any hyper-local media that might cover the area where she went missing, and any local community groups in the area. Also, contact NJT police (bus drivers in the area can keep a lookout for her for example), Union Post office (same is true of letter carriers), and local businesses where she might stop in or be seen passing by. If you can post a current picture of grandma here and supply a copy to police and any other group you contact, that would be especially helpful for those entering the search. Are there any favorite places in her past or present that she may be drawn to? If so, try focusing on those. Hoping she is found quickly and that she remains safe.
