Hall's daughter Kahtia DaSilva said Wednesday that Hall had been found in New York Presbyterian Hospital and is doing well.

DaSilva said Hall has dementia and was in the area with her caretaker, who's DaSilva's niece, at the time of her disappearance. DaSilva said Hall separated from her caretaker at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center subway station slipped through a turnstile, and got on an uptown 2 train. 

"She just hopped on, and by the time my niece, her caretaker, was able to get her bearings, the train had already gone," DaSilva said.
