Dawson has dementia and was last seen on Nov. 13, wearing a pink long-sleeved pajama pants set and black shoes.

“Every now and then she’d have spells like, “Who is that she wouldn’t remember,” maybe events that happened a couple of days ago. But for the most part, I would probably say 75% of the time she had her wits about her,” her son, Ricky Dawson, told Channel 2′s Tyisha Fernandes last month.
Police did not comment on where Dawson was found or how she died.
