Toronto police conducted a high level search starting Christmas Day and continuing on Boxing Day. 

Lee was found about 3-kilometres away near Lawrence Avenue East and Markham Road, asking for help. 

Grandson Chris Chase was overjoyed.

”Wow.  This is amazing.  It’s a happy ending for everybody…She’s fine, a little tired.  Here comes 2019 and it’s going to be a good year.”
