A Glendale woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is safely back with her family after being reported missing Tuesday.

Liza Galstyan, 77, was found at around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday in Pasadena by local police. She had been reported missing after not coming back from a walk in the 600 block of South Adams Street, according to Glendale Police spokesman Sgt. Robert William.

While her family said it’s not unusual for Galstyan to go on long walks, this time was different.

“Obviously, yesterday she was gone for too long. That’s why the family reported her missing,” he said.

Pasadena police subsequently transported her back home.

Other than being tired and confused, William said Galstyan was physically fine when she returned. He said Galstyan suffers from an advanced level of Alzheimer’s and has no recollection of what happened.
