Missing woman found behind police station

HAMILTON — Susan Scherer, the 55-year-old Hamilton woman who was missing for just over 24 hours, was found at 8:15 this morning, in an unused car parked behind the Hamilton police station.

Scherer was disoriented, but otherwise appeared to be in good shape, police Sgt. Scott Jaynes said. She was transported to Beverly Hospital for evaluation. She was listed in good condition this afternoon.

Scherer walked away from an assisted-living center less than half a mile from the police station at 5 a.m. Wednesday. She was described as having a medical condition that required medication.
