I believe she was behind me in the express line at Fairway yesterday (Sunday) at around 5pm. She was acting a bit strangely – cut in line ahead of me and about 10 others and when I questioned her politely about it, she closed her eyes and went completely unresponsive and motionless till I went around her. She appeared properly dressed for the cold and other than that strange behaviour, gave no cause for alarm. I wish I had seen this article before then. I just figured her to be a quirky NYer.
I hope you contacted the police.
I hope you have now contacted the police. Even though it’s after the fact, any information as to where she was may be helpful.
She looks familiar. I used to live on W. 74th Street. Hope she is found successfully.
