The Bensalem Township Police Department is asking the public's help in identifying an elderly woman suffering from dementia. The unidentified woman boarded the Rt. 14 SEPTA bus at the Frankford Terminal in Philadelphia around 5:20 a.m. Tuesday. When the bus reached the final stop at the Neshaminy Mall in Bucks County, she did not get off and asked the driver to take her home. She could not provide any additional information as to where she lives, but did say her name was Judy Rets. She was taken to Aria Torresdale Hospital for evaluation. Anyone with information should call Bensalem police at 215-633-3719.

UPDATE:The woman has been identified and returned home safely.
