Supposedly this 50 some odd years old lady lives near here held a very prestigious job in administration in hospital here and lost it. I guess last year. So she puts her home up for sale throws her Mother out in the winter cold last year with her mom's furniture. The lady then puts her home on real estate market and rents an apartment in Charleston SC and Says has job interview. All heresay. Moves to Beach with all furniture and her dog. The mother rents an apartment. She's gone for a few months they shows back up here not getting the job. Moves into her home takes it off the market. Didn't get job there. Brings dog back with her. Lives there with no furniture. Completly throws all thing out of home including dog food, toilet paper new in package and everything else that was there all new stuff. Is very paranoid and sits and stares while sitting for long periods of time in driveway. Neighbors hear the dog barking all the time. Family refuses to get her help. A few weeks to month ago finally a neighbor sees the dog dead in back yard and calls her attention to dog. Her reply "he's sleeping". She then puts a lab by his leash into the home. For three days nothing happens. Neighbors keep notifying family dog is dead. Animal control had been called. Finally family shows up and can hardly enter home dog dead inside cover with sheet and help get into the lady's car and follow her to emergency vet. And they leave her there. Same time animal control finally shows up at the house and goes to ER vet asks how dog died the Vets said "who knows?". Exit animal control. (again all heresay). Lady continues to live there no furniture. Wanders into yards and stares for long periods of time. One day last week goes to a male neighbors and asks him to drive her to bank to get money. He does she gets money then says take me to get gas for my car. The guy asks do you have gas can she says no gas stations do. He said no you have to have a gas can. So she asks another male neighbor to take her to buy a gas can and gets gas for car. She then disappears all dressed up saying going to get a job. During all this she keeps threatening neighbors to not step on her property. Gets angry at others. Family Does'n't intervene. So She disappeared. Family after 24 hours finally files missing person's report. Two days ago she was stopped in Harrisburg VA near W VA as she had the missing person's on her. The policman said missing persons on you. She replies I'm not missing I'm here and he doesn't hold her. She then is spotted at a firehouse and asks for food and money given to here. Next last night she's in Roanoke VA and stopped at light and when turns green just sits ans stares. Horns honking someone must have called police. When they arrived the policeman attemped to talk to her through car window. She kept staring. Finally policeman broke car window got her out and she's in a hospital somewhere there in Virginia. Told the family she can stay for 5 days and they have to get her. So my question is with the high functioning job she once held and lost, and her bizarre behavior and also drinking heavily. Heard diagnosis was paranoid schizophrenia. Does this sound right as I saw her in periods when she could converse normally? And what will happen to her? Thanks Phillipa
