Previous story:
Rose Bruce, 79, from Volusia County Florida hasn’t been seen since Monday night when she left her Ormond Beach apartment in her 1997 Honda Accord and left the oven on, said Gary Davidson, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Rose works at the Ormond Beach Walmart and was suppose to show up there at 10 p.m. on Monday to pick up her daughter-in-law, but she never showed up.
When Rose didn’t arrive, the daughter-in-law went to their San Marco Drive apt. and found dinner burning and smoke coming from the oven and the fire alarm was going off.vRose left her purse and groceries inside and her car was missing.
Rose has been showing signs of forgetting and she may have drove off in her car and gotten lost, although authorities are not ruling anything out.
Rose had on beige slacks adn a blue Walmart shirt and white tennis shoes. She has blue eyes and gray hair.
Her car is a 1997 Honda Accord with Florida tags K383JA the Sheriff’s Office at 386-736-5999.
I Knew Rose, I worked with her for many years and boy was she a spitfire and in complete possession of all her faculties. This makes no sense she would not have left anything cooking on the stove and left the house as the story suggests. I know police believe this was accidental but I and a few of her family members do not agree that this is what happened. I mourn the loss of this amazing woman still to this day. she will always be loved and missed
