27 September 2013 – San Francisco, CA: The San Francisco Police Department and the family and friends of a San Francisco woman are asking for information and assistance in locating the woman who has been missing since Saturday, September 21, 2013. Lynne Spalding was admitted to San Francisco General Hospital on Thursday suffering complications from an infection. She was being checked on every 15 minutes by hospital personnel.
