A North Carolina couple went missing while traveling to a Thanksgiving family gathering in metro Atlanta, Roswell police said Thursday morning.

By 4:30 p.m., Vivian Bryson, 77, and her husband Winford, 81, had been found.

The Brysons set off from their North Carolina home Wednesday and were expected in Roswell later that afternoon. But the couple didn’t show, prompting law enforcement to ask the public for tips concerning their whereabouts. Vivian had been known to suffer from severe memory loss, and Winford is hearing impaired.

According to Roswell police, the Brysons were located by “our law enforcement partners” in Fayette County, Alabama. They are in the process of being reunited with their family.

No other details were provided.
