UPDATE: Michigan State Police say they have found a previously missing woman safe. Per FOX 17 policy, we have removed her photo and name to protect her privacy.

Michigan State police say the woman in her 80s was initially reported missing around 1 p.m. Tuesday in Van Buren County's Waverly Township.

Investigators were concerned about her whereabouts because she has dementia.

According to MSP, the woman was found in a swamp, nearly a mile from the home where she was last seen. Troopers utilized a department helicopter to locate her.
