Missing woman is found dead
The body of a missing 57-year-old woman was found yesterday in a wooded area near her Pasadena home, but Anne Arundel County police said there was no sign of foul play.
Kathy Kovacsi, who was diagnosed about two years ago with Alzheimer's disease, was found dead about 8 a.m. by a police search team in a "thick and overgrown wooded area" about 0.15 miles from her house, said Sgt. John Gilmer, a police spokesman. Her body was taken to the office of the medical examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.
Kovacsi was last seen about 1 a.m. July 16 as she slept in her home in the 7600 block of Solley Road, where she lived with her husband and two adult children, relatives said.
Her husband awoke about 6 a.m. and found her missing and a side door ajar. He contacted police, who used dogs to trace her scent to a park at Solley Road and Fort Smallwood Road.
"I kind of expected this, due to the recent weather, due to pretty much my mother's mental state," her son, Thomas Kovacsi, 27, said in a brief interview yesterday. Nicole Fuller
