Lake County Sheriff’s Canine Lux made a Christmas evening save after tracking down a woman who went missing while in mental distress near Barrington, sheriff’s officials said.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said Canine Lux and sheriff’s deputies made a “Christmas night save” on Thursday.
The sheriff’s office responded around 10:30 p.m. Thursday to a family’s home in unincorporated Barrington for a report of a missing person.
An adult female left the family’s house on foot in the area of Route 59 and Cuba Road after becoming erratic and having a history of making comments about self-harm.
The woman was not dressed properly for the cold weather and was actively evading attempts to locate her, the sheriff’s office said.
Canine Lux was deployed to search for the woman and conducted a lengthy search, which ended up being successful.
