Thin Air did a really good podcast episode on Nancy's disappearance -
On October 15th, 2016, 55 year old Nancy Paulikas visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, also known as LACMA, with her husband Kirk and some other family members. The year before, Nancy was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. She had severe dementia and had problems communicating, and by October of 2016, caring for her was Kirk's full time job.
The trip to LACMA was going well, and Nancy was having a good day. But when the two got separated, Nancy vanished. After an hour of not finding her around the museum, Kirk called the police. Shockingly, Nancy has never been found.
The last traces of her are surveillance video images of her on Wilshire and McCarthy Vista, an intersection not far from LACMA. Since her disappearance, Kirk, along with an incredible team of friends and family, has mounted an exhaustive effort to find her. Both Kirk's team and investigators believe it is likely that Nancy is alive, right now, in a medical facility where they cannot get any information about her, and that she may be misidentified with an incorrect social security number.
In today's episode, we speak with Nancy's husband, Kirk, Barbra Mclendon with the organization Alzheimer's Greater Los Angeles, and Detective Micheal Rosenburger of Manhattan Beach Police, who is currently in charge of Nancy's case. We also speak with Matt Lewis, Peggy Griffith and Nancy Ward, all longtime friends of Kirk and Nancy's who knew Nancy pre-diagnosis and have assisted with the search.

The family of a Manhattan Beach woman with Alzheimer?s disease who has been missing for nine months released an age-progressed photo Friday showing what she might look like today.
Nancy Paulikas, 56, wandered away from her husband during a visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art about 3 p.m. on Oct. 15, 2016. She was last seen on security video walking west near Wilshire Boulevard and McCarthy Vista wearing a red, long-sleeve blouse with a white pattern, blue jeans, glasses and navy blue sneakers.
Police and loved ones who have spent months desperately searching for Paulikas believe she is lost in the medical system and being cared for as a Jane Doe in a long-term facility. Her family is offering a $30,000 reward for information leading to her return.
They believe her appearance may have changed dramatically in the past nine months.
The image released Friday depicts Paulikas with white hair, no glasses and skin showing signs of stress. She is pictured wearing a beanie to draw attention away from her hair style and onto her facial features, said her husband, Kirk Moody.
?Someone suggested releasing an age-progressed photo and I decided it was worth a shot,? he said.
Moody plans to mail postcards with the image to thousands of specialized care facilities in 10 counties in Southern California in the hopes that someone will recognize his wife.
Paulikas, who lost her ability to communicate, is described as white, 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 140 pounds at the time of her disappearance, with a thin build, grayish brown hair and distinctive blue eyes. She may have removed a medical alert bracelet with her name and phone number.
In addition to regularly contacting hospitals and care facilities, Moody said he recently gave 800 business cards with his wife?s image to the head of the Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation to be distributed to workers cleaning up homeless encampments.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Mike Rosenberger of the Manhattan Beach Police Department at 310-802-5140 or a tip line at 310-650-7965.
