Lynn Perry was 56 years old when she was reported missing from Andover, Vermont, during the overnight hours of July 27, 2015. The Vermont State Police list her case as a missing-person case connected to Windsor County, and NamUs identifies the case as MP34479, with her last contact recorded as July 27, 2015. No case-resolution status indicating that she was found alive or deceased was provided in the supplied case data, and current online listings continue to describe her as missing.
At the time she disappeared, Lynn was living at or staying in the Andover area and was reported missing from her residence. Vermont State Police stated that she suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and was last reported wearing blue pajamas and carrying a pink blanket. Other reporting said she may have left without shoes, a detail that made the circumstances especially urgent because of the rural terrain, exposure risks, and her medical vulnerability.
According to local reporting, Lynn’s daughter told officials she saw her around midnight and believed Lynn may have been sleepwalking inside the home, something she had apparently done before. By the next morning, Lynn was gone, and authorities were contacted. One account stated she had walked away sometime after midnight, and police quickly began treating the situation as a serious search-and-rescue emergency because of her Alzheimer’s disease, reported diabetes, possible lack of footwear, and the summer weather conditions.
The search for Lynn was extensive. Vermont State Police, Vermont Fish & Wildlife, firefighters, game wardens, and other responders searched the Andover area by air, on foot, along roadsides, and through wooded terrain. Reporting from the first days of the search described difficult conditions, thick woods, high heat, and concerns about dehydration and exposure. By the end of that week, officials said more than 200 people had taken part in the search effort.
As the search continued, authorities asked residents within several miles of Lynn’s home to carefully check their properties, especially outbuildings, sheds, barns, and other places where someone affected by dementia might hide or take shelter. Search officials noted that people with dementia may hunker down or conceal themselves, meaning a quick glance inside a structure might not be enough. Police also searched nearby towns and areas, including Andover, Chester, Windham, and Londonderry, while continuing to follow leads and tips.
Lynn is described in NamUs-related listings as a White/Caucasian female with white hair and blue eyes, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall. The supplied NamUs data lists her weight as 180 pounds, while some early local news reporting described her at a lower weight; such discrepancies are not unusual in urgent missing-person reporting. Her clothing and belongings remain important identifiers: blue pajamas described in records as having clouds, stars, or a night-sky pattern, and a pink blanket she was believed to be carrying.
Despite the large search effort and the continued investigation, no public online source reviewed here indicates that Lynn Perry has been located. Vermont State Police describe the area search as having produced negative results, and later listings still classify her case as missing. Her disappearance remains a deeply painful and unresolved loss for those who love her, and the known details suggest a vulnerable woman leaving home in the night under circumstances that placed her at immediate risk.
Anyone with information about Lynn Perry’s whereabouts or the circumstances of her disappearance has been asked to contact Vermont State Police. The Vermont State Police page also states that tips may be submitted anonymously through the agency’s tip system or by texting VTIPS to 274637.Last Seen: Jul 27, 2015
