Officials, family spend Thanksgiving searching for loved one in Ky.
LOUISA, Ky. -- At least 100 searchers scoured the surrounding area of McClure Branch Road in Louisa, Ky., Wednesday night and Thursday looking for 79-year-old Florence Tkach.
Tkach suffers from Alzheimer's. The Aberdeen, Ohio, resident was with her caregiver, who took her on a family visit with her, when she wandered away from the residence.
A Lawrence County, Ky. 911 dispatcher described it as an "all-out manhunt" for any signs of the woman.
Along with family, officials have searched the Big Sandy River by boat, on foot, with search dogs and through the air with helicopters.
Tkach was last seen wearing a t-shirt, jeans and one shoe.
