‘Developmentally handicapped’ female discovered 3 weeks after going missing out on in New york city on train

A 47-year-old “developmentally handicapped” female was discovered Saturday 3 weeks after she vanished in New york city on the train in lower Manhattan, authorities state.

Samantha Primus, a Brooklyn homeowner initially from St. Lucia, is nonverbal and deaf, and she interacts with restricted usage of indication language, according to the St. Lucia Consulate in New York City.

Primus vanished from her sibling’s house, where she was investing the vacations, in Elmont, Long Island, at around 3:30 a.m. Dec. 23. The consulate general stated in a declaration she “might require medical attention.”

A couple of days after Primus went missing out on, Nassau County authorities alerted her household that she had actually been discovered in Queens on the night of Dec. 23 3 1/2 miles from her sibling’s house. New York City Fire Department medics took her to Queens Healthcare Facility Center, where she was “released just a few hours later on,” the consulate stated.

It’s unclear why Primus was required to the healthcare facility.

Primus was reported missing out on to New york city authorities, who stated in a declaration that she was seen leaving the Queens healthcare facility after she was released around 1:50 a.m. Dec. 24.

Primus’ household arranged search celebrations in Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn.

Primus was lastly discovered in Manhattan on Saturday, a little over 3 weeks after having actually disappeared, authorities and the consulate stated.

” The Primus household specified that she was found riding the 1 train in Lower Manhattan, and was consequently required to the New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Healthcare facility for a medical check-up,” the consulate in New york city stated in a declaration.

It’s unclear where Primus remained.
