A missing 71-year-old Brick Township was found safe Friday and reunited with her family, police said.

Authorities said Nellie Llera, who suffers from dementia, left her home on 20th Avenue in Brick at 2:30 p.m. Thursday and never returned.

A family member told police that Llera said she was going to go to the area of 125th Street in New York City because her mother used to live there. Officials said Llera has wandered off in the past and has been located on previous occasions in Wall Township.

Police said Llera had not taken her medication and also suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes.

Officials did not say exactly where Llera was found.
