(June 2, 2008)—La Dawn Garland, 42, the managing editor of the Bosque County News who was the object of a three-county search, was in a hospital in Lander, Wyo. Monday afternoon, but authorities said the problems from which she was admitted are not life threatening.
An officer found Garland on Monday morning, parked on at highway rest stop in Fremont County, Wyo. near Lander, Freemont County sheriff’s Sgt. Jerry Evagelatos said.
Garland told officers she had not eaten in a week, Evagelatos said.
Evagelatos said investigators had asked her about the reason she disappeared, but would not comment on what she told them.
“I think that’s best left to the family to discuss,” he said.
Lander, Wyo. is a community of about 7,000 residents in the foothills of Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains, which is more than 1,300 miles from Waco.
Garland was found in the Dodge pickup truck in which she left Meridian Wednesday after a passerby reported that the truck was parked on the roadside and that the woman inside may have been having a medical problem.
When the officer ran Garland’s information on through the computer system and she came up as a missing person.
Garland disappeared after setting out Wednesday for Waco to buy a cell phone battery.
Garland left the newspaper office in Meridian a little after 4 p.m. Wednesday to make a bank deposit.
Officials confirmed the deposit was made.
Garland then planned to drive to Waco, but she hasn’t been heard from since she called her husband around 7 p.m. Wednesday to ask him what he wanted for dinner.
When Garland’s husband called her back a few minutes later, the call immediately went to voice mail, authorities said.

I would like to personally thank everyone for their kind thoughts, words and prayers. I am in the process recovering from my ordeal. It will be a long hard road, but with the help of all of you and many unseen precious angels, I will make it. I saw things on my trip to Wyoming that I cannot wait to tell you all about. It was a life changing experience. I've interacted with the most intellegent beings in God's creation and they bring a message of peace, brother/sisterhood and love. They traveled a long way to meet me and for some reason I was chosen to give all of your their message. Stay tuned.....
