Missing Walhalla Woman located in Louisiana

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office received notification that a Walhalla woman reported missing earlier this week has been located in a hospital in Louisiana. Oconee County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Jimmy Watt gives details. “Deputies received notification Tuesday that 69-year-old Lorraine Anne Leiss-Lee was missing. Lorraine’s last known address was 417 Snead Road but deputies believe that she has not been at that address for weeks nor had there been any recent sightings of Lorraine. The Sheriff’s Office issued a press release stating that Lorraine may be in South Carolina but also possibly could be in the state of Georgia, Florida or Texas as well. Deputies were concerned for Lorraine’s safety because she has had a history of health problems. After the issuance of the press release, deputies from the Road Patrol division received information that Lorraine was admitted at some point to Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. An investigator spoke with the nurse in charge who verified Lorraine’s personal information and confirmed that she was a patient there and that she was okay. Investigators were able to reconfirm that information.” Her information was entered into the National Crime Information Center database but has since been removed.
