91原创 RCMP are currently looking for 72-year-old Ruth Verna Benjestorf and need assistance in trying to locate her.

She does go by 鈥榁erna鈥�. Benjestorf resides at the Murrayville Manor Care Facility in 91原创, and left Friday morning headed to the IGA located at 22259 48th Ave. in Murrayville area.

鈥淚t has been confirmed that Benjestorf did make a purchase at the IGA around 10 a.m., however, from there her whereabouts are unknown,鈥� said Sgt. Alexandra Mulvihill.

Benjestorf is capable of short outings by herself, but does suffer from a number of medical conditions which require daily medication. When Benjestorf had not returned by 5 p.m., she was reported missing by staff.

鈥淏enjestorf does not know the area of 91原创 well and usually only goes to the IGA or Willowbrook mall with staff,鈥� Mulvihill noted.

Benjestorf is shy and does not communicate with people she does not know. Benjestorf may be using BC Transit to get around and could possibly try to go to New Westminster as she has stated in the past that she wants to go there.

She was wearing a black winter parka jacket that goes to her knees, blue jeans, black sandals (Velcro style straps) with white socks, and was carrying a black purse. The picture of her in the black jacket is from Friday.
