Missing Santa Fe-area woman found safe

SANTA FE, TX

According to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office, Ashley Collard was found walking in the 11000 block of 32nd Street around 11:40pm. Investigators say she appeared to be uninjured, but was taken to a local hospital to be examined further.

According to family members, Collard grabbed her 6-month-old Shih Tzu puppy and left her home Friday afternoon after becoming angry about something. They were very concerned about her well-being because they say she has the mental capacity of an 8-year-old and she didn't have any of her medications.

Investigators say the puppy was with Collard when they found her.

At this point, we don't know where she was all weekend. We'll continue to gather details and post them as we get them.
