A West Hobart woman reported missing since Tuesday evening has been located and was reunited last night with her family.
There had been concerns for the welfare of the 70-year-old who was reported missing about 5.30pm on Tuesday.
However, the woman was located by members of the public, not far from her home, about 9.45pm on Wednesday.
Inspector Brenda Orr of Hobart Police said the woman had no serious physical injuries but was showing the effects of being outdoors and exposed to cold conditions.
"This is a wonderful result for her family, who are obviously very relieved to have her safely home," Inspector Orr said.
"It's also good news for those officers and search personnel who were involved in looking for her across West Hobart and South Hobart on Tuesday night and through Wednesday with the hope she would be found. We thank them for their efforts.
"She is very fatigued and is showing some physical effects of exposure to the cold weather and being without food or drink for more than 24 hours.
"But overall, she is well, is now safely back at home and is recovering."
Investigations continue into how the woman went missing and where she may have been until being found.
