Kudos TFC Lachance & K-9 Tobi, a CSP Search & Rescue team for locating missing 88-year-old Pomfret woman at 10:45 a.m. today. K-9 Tobi led his partner to woods & located the woman uninjured. Due to exposure overnight, she was brought to a local hospital . Great job, K-9 Tobi! pic.twitter.com/pEPsFPBjzA

According to police, she was not injured, but she was brought to a local hospital because she was outside overnight.
It's unclear how Perkins ended up in the wooded area.
