Authorities sought the public’s assistance Thursday in locating an at-risk 96-year-old woman last seen in Altadena and may have been displaced by the Eaton Fire.

Elizabeth Jane Behny was in last contact with her family around noon on Jan. 5 and was last seen in the 2000 block of Pinecrest Drive, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Behny was described as a 5 foot-1-inch tall white woman weighing 92 pounds with gray hair and green eyes. It was unclear what she was last seen wearing.

Sheriff’s officials said Behny utilizes a walker, and her family is growing concerned about her well-being.

Anyone with information regarding Behny’s whereabouts was urged to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Missing Persons Detail at 323-890-5500. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
