The search for an 80-year-old woman with dementia who had been missing since Friday ended after her body was found Monday near Cambridge, Minn.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said in canceling an alert that Andrea Nyberg’s car was in a cornfield far from the road and difficult to see.

Dozens of searchers drove roads in Kanabec County on Saturday.  Nyberg, who was known as Andy, could not drive but took the family’s red sedan anyway at around 4 p.m. from Mora.
