Silver Alert Issued for Karen May Taube
The backstory:
A Silver Alert was issued for Taube on May 12 after police said she was taken from her assisted living facility in Denton by someone who isn’t her legal guardian.
Police named Haron as a suspect and issued a felony warrant for her arrest. But they did not release her photo or share any details about her relationship to Taube.
Silver Alert ends: 76-year-old taken from Denton assisted living facility
The silver alert has been discontinued, but the search goes on for a 76-year-old Michigan woman who was pulled from her assisted living facility in Denton.
Dig deeper:
Police said Taube is "under court-appointed legal guardianship that maintains complete conservatorship and final authority in determining who can have contact with her, which does not include Haron."
FOX 4 found Denton County court records that revealed a lengthy guardianship battle over Taube from January 2024 right up until she was checked out of the Denton facility.
Haron was listed as one of the applicants for her guardianship.
