Cranston woman found in Warwick after 1 1/2 days

WARWICK -- Police found a Cranston woman early this morning, a day-and-a-half after her mother reported her missing.

Officers were investigating an unrelated suspicious person call near 456 Post Road at 12:39 a.m. when Jan McMahon, 41, approached and said she was lost, according to Capt. Robert S. Nelson.

Police ran McMahon’s name through a nationwide database, the National Crime Information Center, and identified her as a missing person.

Officers called her sister Lorraine McMahon, who arrived on the scene and took custody, Nelson said.

Cranston police put out a call for help finding McMahon Tuesday, describing her as a frequent rider of Rhode Island Public Transit buses and known to frequent Kennedy Plaza, Eddy Street near Rhode Island Hospital, the Olneyville section of Providence and the Taunton Avenue area in East Providence.
