Sadly, her health condition won’t allow her to share any specifics about her life during the 43 years she had been considered a missing person.

Festus Mbuva, a healthcare worker at the facility where Florence resides, who took care of her for more than a decade, spoke to the Associated Press and said, “To be honest, I don’t think she ever really wanted to be found,” adding: “You can tell something happened in her past that she didn’t want any part of.”

According to him, she rarely spoke of her life but he was still able to piece her story together, at least partially. Mbuva revealed that Florence once confessed her husband Robert, who was already dead at the time she was tracked down, was abusive. She also revealed that she worked as a hairdresser brought up in Yonkers and was one of the attendees at the 1969 Woodstock concert, as per People.

Until this very day, officials haven’t been able to get in touch with any living relatives of Florence.
The great thing is that she’s safe and sound.

Solving a missing person case involving someone who has been missing for over four decades is not something we see every day.
