It cost me a lot of money, I even put ads in the Puerto Rican newspaper looking for her,” said Bob Kopta.While none of it worked, she was right where he thought she might be. “We were contacted by an Interpol agent and a social worker from Puerto Rico who believed that they had her in a home for the elderly in Puerto Rico.
They said she was in her care in 1999 when she was found needy on the streets where she wandered. While she was there, she refused to talk about her private life or where she came from,” Ross Township Police Deputy Chief Brian Kohlhepp said.

It was a total shock,” said Gloria Smith, Patricia’s sister. A case officially closed and a family reconnected.
“We really thought that she was dead all those years. We were not expecting it and it was a huge shock to find out that she was alive, and we are very happy, and I look forward to going to see her,” Smith said.
