The Search Continues For a Missing Kansasville Woman

The husband of a Kansasville woman who's been missing since early Sunday has raised the possibility that his wife--who suffers from mental illness--may intentionally be trying to hide from searchers.

John Rickard told WITI TV Monday that his wife has run away before, and that new medication seems to have made her condition worse.

Because of a fear of people, 59 year-old Lynn Rickard may run if approached by strangers, according to Lt. Dan Klatt of the Racine County Sheriff's Dept.

The woman is believed to have slipped away early Sunday morning, possibly wearing nothing more than black and white pajamas. She left without her oxygen.
