Update: Missing W. Greenwich woman found alive

A missing West Greenwich woman was found alive this afternoon in woods about a quarter-mile from her address, according to the state police.

It is believed Lisa J. Doire, 41, a mother of two who lives on Fox Run, spent the night in the woods, according to state police Capt. Raymond White. It is not known why.

She was located by a helicopter as part of a search of the area. She had been missing since last night.

State police said she was found in relatively good shape. Her brother-in-law, Steve Diore, told reporters she had been taken to a hospital for observation.

Police said Doire’s husband told them she was home when he took their son and daughter to run some errands at about 4:30 p.m. yesterday. He said when the three returned to the house at about 6:30, she was gone.

Leo Doire said he searched the wooded area that surrounds the house, then called police.

West Greenwich Police Chief Ronald Lepre said earlier today that there were “no signs of a struggle or of a disturbance of any kind in the house,” adding later that the investigation was still "wide open."

More than 50 local and state authorities were searching the area with search dogs. Lepre said Doire has no history of mental illness.

"I'm interested," Lepre said about the circumstances, "to see why and where," Doire had gone.

What is this all about, I am sure there will be alot more coming. Strange. She must have been dressed really warm if she spent the night in the woods.

She's alive, that's really all that matters. Obviously there are some underlying issues which need to be resolved. All my best to the family at this time.
