Springfield police are looking for a 73-year-old city woman with Alzheimer’s who has been missing since 3 p.m. Saturday.

Capt. C. Lee Bennett said the woman, Josifina Lopez, was wearing a long, green jacket with a fur hood and blue jeans and is about 5 feet , 4 inches tall and 170 pounds. She said she has brown hair and eyes.

Bennett said police had two dogs try to track her, and have been putting out alerts every 15 minutes.

Bennett said the PVTA has been notified about the missing woman, as well as area hospitals.

Lopez’s daughter-in-law, Julie Lopez, said her mother-in-law was in a relative’s home on Ashmund Street when she wandered out.
