Woman recovering after spending days lost in Boone County

TWILIGHT, W.Va. — A woman who was reported missing in Southern West Virginia will soon be safely back at home.

State Police say a resident on a four wheeler found Charlene Morgan-Hankins, 55, in the Twilight area of Boone County on Monday morning.  She was said to be dehydrated, but was expected to recover after spending days in the rural area.

The woman’s vehicle was found in Twilight on Sunday afternoon.

Up until Monday, Morgan-Hankins had not been seen since leaving a nursing home near Chief Logan State Park on August 7.  She told authorities she got lost while following her GPS, ran out of gas and then got turned around while walking for help.

Logan State Police were handling the investigation.
