A missing mum has been found in a “very vulnerable state” after her family made a desperate appeal for help locating her.
Kelly Rigby, 44, from Walton, Liverpool, had not been seen since leaving home on Thursday, 22 October.
Her daughter Lois previously said the family were “out of their minds with worry” and feared for her mum’s wellbeing, particularly as she takes medication.
Now, Lois has confirmed Kelly has been found and is receiving hospital treatment, as reported by Need To Know.
In a fresh Facebook update, she thanked everyone who had shared the appeal and helped the family during the search.
She wrote: “As some of you may of already seen she was found last night and we couldn’t have done it without everyone’s help.”
Lois said Kelly had been found in a “very vulnerable state” and was currently in hospital.
She added that the family now needed “a little bit of space” as they focused on supporting her.
Lois also thanked those who had sent messages, saying she could see them all and appreciated the support, even if she might not be able to reply to everyone.
The news comes after Lois shared a heartbreaking appeal on 1 November, saying the family were “out of our minds with worry”.
She wrote: “Someone must know were she is, I don’t think she is doing this alone.”
Lois had also pleaded with anyone who had seen her mum, or knew where she might be, to come forward.
Merseyside Police launched an appeal on 29 October, saying extensive enquiries were under way to find Kelly.
The family have now asked for privacy as Kelly receives care in hospital.
