SalemNews.com, Salem, MA - New service helps find missing persons: "It was the telephone that helped find an elderly woman who went missing from her Middleton home on June 1.
The telephone at the police station rang a Florida-based nonprofit, which in turn used satellite tracking technology to call neighborhoods along Boston Street, near the woman's home.
Police received multiple calls from residents who thought they'd spotted her. Then someone rang to say the woman was in her backyard, Middleton police Capt. James DiGianvittorio said.
'She traveled a mile to a mile and a half from her residence. She had some issues and was taken by ambulance to the hospital,' DiGianvittorio said. 'But the system worked fantastic.'"
