Missing 77-year-old Danville woman found safe

DANVILLE, Va. – Update 2/8:

Danville police say Doris Moore has been found safe.

Police were able to track her through a debit card transaction she made in Durham, North Carolina.

Moore has been reunited with her family.


Virginia State Police has issued a senior alert for a missing Danville woman.

77-year-old Doris Moore has Alzheimer’s and was last seen on Friday at her home on Ashlawn Drive around 4:30 p.m., according to state police. She was reported missing later that evening.

Moore left home in a white 2002 Toyota Sienna van with Virginia tags ‘JYC-3440,’ according to Danville police. State police say she may be in North Carolina but it’s still unclear.

Police say Moore frequents Ruben’s Restaurant and Anglers Park in Danville.

Moore is five feet, four inches tall, weighs around 140 pounds and has grey hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing light blue pants, a white blouse with grey stripes and possibly a sweater.

City officials say given the flooding and plummeting temperatures, this is a dire and “very dangerous” situation.

Anything with information about Moore’s whereabouts is asked to call 911 or the Danville Police Department.
