Cell phone ping
What we know:
The family says that on Aug. 6, Juanita Rosa's cell phone was showing a location in Superior, Wisconsin.
The Pine County Sheriff’s Office says Juanita Rosa is 5-foot, 2-inches tall, has long, white hair, and blue eyes.
Two of the pinged locations were at Holy Assumption Catholic Church and Bryant Elementary School.
The backstory:
Rosa was last seen on her 85th birthday on Monday, Aug. 4.
Her family says she was at breakfast with her two sons.
Later that day, the Pine County Sheriff’s Office says she was spotted near Family Pathways Food Shelf in Sandstone.
She was seen on-camera driving in Askov, about 20 minutes away.
Her car is a 2011 white Buick Sedan with the Minnesota license plate number NBS-800. Her granddaughter is one of many family members who have been searching for her night and day.
"I have to say, we're all shocked. We would have never thought that she would have gone that far, gotten that far. We have no clue what she could be doing in Superior," said Lindsay Greenlee, Juanita’s granddaughter.
What's next:
The family is offering up a $5,000 reward for a tip that would lead to finding Juanita Rosa.
