A Franklin woman who was the subject of an Endangered Missing Adult Alert was found dead Monday evening.

According to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office on social media, 94-year-old Susie Couch was found dead near her residence in on Manchester Road.

The sheriff’s office credited a tip on their original social media post for helping find Couch.

The announcement came almost 24 hours after Couch left her home barefoot wearing a light pink, light fleece shirt, and about two hours after an Endangered Missing Adult Alert was issued for her, the sheriff’s office said.

In the alert, the sheriff’s office said that Couch suffered from dementia, and left her house on foot at around 7 p.m. Sunday evening.
