A woman with Alzheimer's vanished, Google Maps revealed her tragic fate

04-01-2025 09:16 AM


Ammon News - Marcel Taret was the only caregiver for his 83-year-old wife Paulette Landrieux, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.

'Sometimes she would just wander off without telling Marcel and he would have to go and corral her and bring her back home.'

Marcel turned his back on Paulette for just a few minutes as they were both in the garden of their home in Andenne, Belgium, on November 2, 2020, to hang up laundry.

This, sadly, would be the last time he ever saw her.

He anxiously called the police, who promptly sent a search and rescue helicopter over the area to find her, to no avail.

Despite the continuous search efforts, Paulette was not found for two years.

But, by complete chance, a Google Streetview car was driving past the house at the same time as the disappearance.

In 2022, one of Marcel's neighbours examined the Streetview photos on the road and found the haunting final image of Paulette.

Paulette can be seen walking across the street away from her home while Marcel is in the background, hanging up the laundry.

Using this new lead, police traced the path that Paulette appeared to be taking and found her body hidden in a bramble bush.
