Renee LaManna's missing persons case was aired on the November 3rd, 1995 episode of Unsolved Mysteries. She was apparently recently sighted in North Carolina but has still not been located. Below is the (Slightly edited) Unsolved wiki description of the case:
On January 8, 1994, Renee LaManna was found walking in Queens, New York, in an incoherent state and was taken to a local hospital for psychic evaluation. She was taken to her sister's house in Ocean City, New Jersey, where they had dinner. Suddenly, she ran out for no apparent reason at around 7pm in freezing temperatures. She was last seen at a bar at around 9pm and was never seen again. A bloodhound traced her scent to two Ocean City homes, but no evidence of what happened to her has ever been found. Authorities can't determine if she met with foul play or left on her own accord. In May 1995, she was reportedly seen in New Jersey, but the sighting is unconfirmed.
Shortly after the November 3rd, 1995 episode of Unsolved Mysteries, Renee was sighted in New York City, but was not located. Since then, various sightings of her have occurred throughout the eastern United States. She was believed to have been in a store in Ashville, North Carolina, in October 2014. A witness even took several photographs of the woman believed to be her, who looks identical to the age progression photographs of her. This woman told several witnesses that she was headed to Florida. Despite the new leads, she has still not been located.
Additional Notes:
-Renee was eventually put on a missing persons alert in North Carolina, and was seen hitchhiking at a truck stop in Haywood County, North Carolina.
-Renee's family believes she is headed to Jacksonville, Florida. She reportedly told a trucker she wanted to get to a "big city" in Florida and it is the first big city in Florida along the particular route she was taken.
Thoughts? This is a unique missing person's case in that we know the person is in all likelihood alive. The problem is because of Lamanna's state of dementia, she is difficult to locate. There have been sightings, but she apparently veers off course quickly. There is definitely hope, and an increased publicity push should locate her.
