The hunt to find out the identity of a frail, elderly woman found by the side of the road on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast has ended.
The woman, believed to be in her 80s, was picked up by a driver in Mooloolah Valley on Sept. 6 and dropped outside Nambour Hospital.
Her identity remained a mystery for weeks, with police initially unable to ask the woman who she was because she was suffering a “challenging health situation.”
Police said on Sunday the woman recently began talking and declined to disclose her identity for personal reasons.
Investigators issued a number of alerts in a bid to reunite the woman with her family after she was found, saying the situation was unique and almost like a reverse missing person’s case.
She started talking with people after she was transferred to Sunshine Coast University Hospital and her health improved.
