A sad end to the search for a missing Alzheimer's patient in Lawrence County.

County officials confirm the body of Florence Tkack was found in the Big Sandy River just before noon Saturday. The 79-year old was with her son visiting extended family for the holidays. Officials say she wandered away from the home Wednesday.

Crews had been searching for her for four days with helicopters, boats and even search dogs.
