Missing woman with dementia found seven miles from home

HALL COUNTY, Ga. — The Hall County Sheriff's Office found a missing woman with dementia seven miles from her home.

Authorities asked for the public's help in finding Margaret "Tina" Kemp, 72. She was last seen in the area of Lake Lanier Islands Parkway early Monday morning.

Kemp's family feared she may have walked into the nearby lake.

"She just wandered off. Her grandchildren downstairs heard some noise about 4:30 and her daughter who lives behind her came to bring her breakfast about 7:45 and she wasn’t in the house," said her caretaker, Jackie Newman.

First responders searched the lake and the surrounding areas.

They found Kemp Monday afternoon in a grocery store several miles from her home.
