KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV/KSMO) An 80-year-old woman who wandered away from her home during Kansas City’s last heavy snowfall is reunited with her family. Thankfully a watchful, quick thinking 11-year-old came to the rescue.
Kansas City police and the woman’s husband were frantically searching that snowy morning for 80-year-old Linda Kagay. She had fallen to the ground and was hidden by a snowbank.
Eleven-year-old Rocco Spadafore says he just happened to look out of his family’s front window and notice a dark object in their front yard. It was Linda’s walker. “I saw a person laying down right in front of it, so I just told my mom,” Rocco Spadafore said. “We were able to attract the attention of the police to show them where she was.”
