Woman suffering from Epilepsy and Alzheimer's is still missing!

Police continued their search Friday for a San Mateo woman who disappeared early this week.
Elysse McCormick, 66, disappeared early Monday morning after she was discharged from San Mateo Medical Center. McCormick suffers from Alzheimer's disease and grand mal seizures.


The woman was spotted in Pacifica at 8:40 p.m. Wednesday near a house her father once owned on Serena Drive. Since then, police believe, she has been to at least two homeless shelters in San Francisco.


Police spent Thursday going to shelters in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood and interviewed a number of homeless people in the city. Flyers have been handed out at shelters and at the medical center.

"We've networked as much as we could, so we're hopeful with all the coverage," said Lt. Mike Brunicardi. "I know it's getting a lot of publicity. That's great for us."

Police are also working with McCormick's family to determine where she might be headed next.
"Whatever we can do in order to facilitate her return," Brunicardi said.
