After being released from Sun Valley, Calif.-based Pacifica Hospital of the Valley, Ms. Luscious was sent in a cab to Los Angeles-based Crenshaw Nursing Home, according to CBS Los Angeles.
But she never arrived. The cab driver claimed he dropped her off at the nursing home, but was unsure whether she went inside. In a statement, Crenshaw Nursing Home said Ms. Luscious never entered its facility, according to the report.
On April 4, however, Ms. Luscious was found at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.
According to a police statement, she “suffers with poor mental condition and [is] not familiar with the Los Angeles area,” according to the report. Ms. Luscious’ family, who blamed Pacifica Hospital of the Valley for her disappearance, confirmed that she suffers from mental illness.
