CENTRALIA, Texas (KTRE) - A missing woman was found in the closet of an abandoned house after disappearing Wednesday night. The sheriff has shared more details. Ruth Rosser, 46, disappeared from her home in Centralia just before bad weather with nothing but the clothes she was wearing, authorities said. As of 7:25 on Friday night however, Sheriff Woody Wallace said Rosser had been found alive. She was located in an abandoned home around 100 yards away from the command post the sheriff's office had set up. Wallace said one of the deputies noticed the front door was open, and that led them toward the structure. They searched the house and found Rosser in a small closet, curled up in the fetal position on couch cushions with a blanket, Wallace said. She was taken to a local hospital to be checked out and her condition is unknown at this time.
