TERREBONNE, Ore. – The Deschutes County Sheriffs Office said Tuesday evening it "is happy to report that 87-year-old Janet Montoya has been found."

Montoya was located by Deschutes County Sheriffs Office Search & Rescue volunteers in the area of NW Jordan Court in Terrebonne, Public Information Officer Jason Carr said. 

"Montoya was alert, conscious, and in decent condition when volunteers contacted her," Carr said in a news release. "Redmond Fire and Rescue was dispatched to evaluate her and ensure she is okay."

"The Sheriffs Office would like to thank the community for the tremendous support shown throughout this search," he added. "People's willingness to share information, remain alert, and call in tips makes a difference in missing persons cases. 

Carr said they "also extend our sincere appreciation to our Search & Rescue volunteers. Their dedication is evident not only in backcountry rescues, but in missing person searches and in assisting residents during fire evacuations. We are grateful for their commitment and service to our community."

Janet Montoya suffers from dementia, had left her home and was last seen around 6 p.m. Monday on 17th Street approaching Davidson Way.

The sheriff’s office has released images of Montoya from a Ring doorbell camera taken as she walked out her front door, along with her most recent DMV photo. 

Due to her dementia and vulnerable condition, DCSO Search & Rescue volunteers were deployed to help look for Montoya.

The sheriff’s office urged residents in the Terrebonne area to check around their properties, review home security footage, and report any possible sightings.
