Missing woman found alive 42 years later

BOSTON, Massachusetts (KTRK) -- A woman who disappeared four decades ago has been found alive at a nursing home hundreds of miles where she was last seen.

In 1975, Flora Stevens' husband dropped her off for a doctor's appointment, but when he returned, she was gone.

Now 42 years later, officials said they have solved the cold case.

They found her living with dementia in a nursing home in Massachusetts.

Detectives said because of her condition, it is unclear how and why she left New York.
