The authorities were very concerned about the disappearance of this 80-year-old resident of Jurançon, who left her home on foot on Wednesday without having been heard from since. The police had launched a call for witnesses, specifying that the octogenarian had Alzheimer's.
Three nights in the woods
And this Saturday morning, she was found “by nurses and hunters”. This is confirmed by the president of the Jurançon hunting company, Dominique Olivan. “We had decided to do a hunt in this area so that there would be people in the woods, thinking that we might come across her. »
The hunters arrived “at the same time” as nurses from Mont-Vert, a branch of the Pyrénées hospital center in Jurançon. They had taken care of the octogenarian when the hunters arrived. “It’s a relief,” confides Dominique Olivan, “because we knew this lady in the neighborhood. » She was about 2 km from her home and coming from the woods above the road when she was found.
“It’s a miracle!” »
“We are relieved. Three nights out is a miracle! » reacted Muriel, Lucette’s daughter. “She saved herself,” she observes. She must have rolled down this sloping wood. The Mont-Vert nurse found her sitting on the side of the road, prostrate, with twigs in her hands. »
Lucette is “in good physical shape”, “she walks 7 km per cheek with my dad”, and this is undoubtedly “what allowed her to hold on”. “We treat her and we take care of her,” explains the girl who intends to “thank all the people who relayed the call for witnesses on the networks and in Jurançon businesses. We really felt supported. »
Muriel also praises the action of the emergency services, police and firefighters “who combed the entire area around my parents’ house with considerable resources, dogs, drones, and even helicopter”.
