The 101-year-old county woman who was the subject of a Virginia State Police alert after she was reported missing two days ago was found de*ad in her vehicle Saturday afternoon, the sheriff’s department said.
Dorothy Sue Wallace and a passenger, Annie Mae Berger, were found in a wooded area off Manson Church Road in southern Dinwiddie, the sheriff’s department said in a Facebook post. Wallace, the driver, had already died by the time they were found. The passenger, Berger, was taken to Bon Secours Southside Medical Center in Petersburg for observation.
No foul play is suspected in Wallace’s de*ath.
Wallace was last seen driving a 2002 Honda Odyssey van Thursday afternoon, according to reports. A traffic camera on U.S. Route 1 in Brunswick County, Dinwiddie’s neighbor to the southwest, captured an image of her behind the wheel of the van.
The Virginia State Police issued a “critically missing adult” alert Friday on behalf of Dinwiddie authorities. Those alerts are sent statewide across VSP social-media and message channels.
