Farmer's Wife Found in a Hedge Nine Miles Away After Sleepwalking Out of Kitchen Wind

[Faline]

Joy Grigg, 50, sparked a major police search after vanishing in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Her husband Richard, 53, awoke to find his wife gone and the kitchen window wide open.
The mother-of-two had been missing since the early hours of Wednesday morning before a member of the public found her in a hedge near Camelford, Cornwall, last night.
It was the second time she has sleepwalked out of the family farm in Tregeare near Launceston, Cornwall, after wandering five miles away in January.
Mr Grigg, who lives on Lower Kyrse Farm with Mrs Grigg and their two sons, Martin, 27, and Geoff, 25, said: "It is so great that she has been found.
"She is currently in hospital, and we just want to get out lives back together and try and get things back to normal. We are all very relieved and are very much looking forward to her coming home.
"We were all very worried for her safety and as time went on obviously the worry grew, although that is all gone now that she has been found.
"She is a very sensible person, a loving mother and wife and we are glad to have her back."
Mrs Grigg was found just as rescue workers were about to call off their search for the night.
A spokesman for North Dartmoor Search and Rescue team said: "We have been out in the Launceston area again today, helping with the continuing search for Joy Grigg.
"As we were approaching the end of our searching for the day, Joy was located safe and well."
Chief Inspector Shaun Kenneally of Devon and Cornwall Police said: "There was a great amount of support offered by volunteer agencies and the public in the search for Joy.
"I'd like to particularly thank farmers in the area who took the time to search their land as part of the effort.
"We're thankful the search was brought to a safe conclusion and that was in no small part due to the support of local people."
Mr Grigg, her husband of 28 years, said it is not the first time Mrs Grigg had gone missing.
He said: "She has wandered off before, about six or seven weeks ago in January, that time she ended up around five miles away.
"We managed to bring her back after I kept calling her mobile and eventually the vibration in her pocket woke her up."

There were at least two murder cases that come to mind where the perps had sleepwalked and sleepdrove.

Stop by for a visit if you make it here

My mother had a friend who would sit up and talk with her eyes open while sleeping.

Creepy. We were little kids.
