My great aunt has gone missing. This is my paternal grandmother's youngest sister, the little old lady who married a Cypriot Armenian and lived her whole married life in Larnaca, Cyprus. Last week, her daughters put her in a nursing home in the capital city of Cyprus, and everything seemed to be alright... until Wednesday. Auntie Lydia walked out of the home, and hasn't been seen or heard from since then.

No one knows where this 80-something-year-old woman is. It seems the Cypriot police are not being aggressive enough in looking for her either. Perhaps they figure she's not that important, since it's the last days of her life anyway.

My gran is worried sick. She's probably imagining how she would feel if she were lost on the streets of a city, especially scary for Auntie Lydia, who shows early signs of dementia.

Where could she be?
