Turns out, the woman reported to be on the porch at 68 Sheldon St. was Barbara Tscherniak, 77, a woman with Alzheimer’s disease whose family had reported as missing on Tuesday night, Attleboro Police Capt. David Proia said. "There was no sign of any kind of foul play," Proia said. "She did not appear harmed in any way, and we believe she walked the entire distance." That would be about 10 miles, if she had gone the most direct route traveled by car. There's no way of knowing exactly what path she took, though. The Attleboro police had launched an intense search for Tscherniak, who had wandered away before, but never for as long as she was gone this time, Proia said. -- projo.com staff writer Kate Bramson The police had been looking since the woman’s son, Godfrey Tscherniak, reported her missing from her home on Newport Avenue in South Attleboro at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, with a helicopter, police dogs and officers dedicated to the search, Proia said. “We were very happy this morning,” Proia said about the call from the Providence Police reporting they had found the woman. “It was a sigh of relief.” The Providence Fire Department took the woman to Rhode Island Hospital, according to James Taylor, chief of communications for the department. She remains there waiting for family members and an evaluation, Proia said. She was found about 8:45 a.m. today, Proia said.
