For four long days, Nina Lipscomb’s family used every resource at their disposal to find her.
Nina is almost 83 years old and has Alzheimer’s disease. She was visiting family in Senoia, Georgia when she told them she was going to find her sister, who passed away in March. Nina went missing, and her family was desperate to bring her home.
On the fourth day of her disappearance, Brittany Moore and her 1-year-old son Ethan were playing in their backyard, which is just a quarter of a mile from where Nina vanished. Ethan was playing with a bubble wand when a few bubbles floated to the fence line. When the little boy got to the fence, he froze, staring into the woods. Brittany followed her son.
“I went over there and said, ‘What do you see?’ and he pointed and said, ‘feet,’” Brittany recalled. “‘Okay, can you say that again? What did you say?’ and he said, ‘feet.’” Brittany crouched(蹲) down to her son’s level. Sure enough, she saw the bottom half of someone lying down in the underbrush. Brittany says she got into a panic before calling the police, fearing the feet belonged to someone who could hurt her and her family. But when the police arrived, it was Nina they discovered in the woods. She was lost. Luckily, she was unharmed even after four days in the rough!
Nina’s family was happy to have her back at home. Her daughter, Karen Lipscomb, says she’s not entirely surprised that it was a child who found her. The following week, Brittany brought Ethan to their home so he could meet Nina. Karen says the families plan to keep in touch with their little hero. Nina’s family tried to give Brittany money as a reward, but they refused. Like many heroes, they realize that the real reward is knowing they helped someone in need!
