A Mattie’s Call has been canceled for a 64-year-old woman missing from a Roswell health care facility.

Obadyah Yahyisrael allegedly took girlfriend Dorothy Janet Paige from the facility Sept. 1, the Roswell Police Department said in a Facebook post.

Police were “concerned for her well-being and safety because Dorothy has a number of health issues that require medication and care,” according to the Facebook post.

Paige and Yahyisrael were found in Anniston, Ala., police spokeswoman Lisa Holland told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Yahyisrael is in custody, and authorities are working to get Paige back to Roswell, Holland said.
