Missing Women found after a 45mins search attempt of the Air Force

The Swiss Air Force helped the police of the canton Vaud successfully in the search for a missing woman.

An 89-year-old missing woman was found, albeit injured, again. This thanks to the use of a helicopter of the Swiss Air Force.
The very elderly woman had disappeared on May 28th from the hospital Lavaux in Cully, as the cantonal police reports. Police requested assistance from the air force on the morning of June 1st. An EC-635 started in Dübendorf and took on the flight operational head of the cantonal police in Lausanne-Blécherette.
The wanted person was found only three quarters of an hour later in the Lausanne area. A ground patrol rescued her and immediately took her to the University Hospital of Lausanne. Shortly after noon, the helicopter arrived back in Dübendorf.
