A 94-year-old Brooklyn woman, Elena Fumara, has vanished during a bitterly cold winter weekend, leaving her family and authorities frantically searching for answers. The NYPD reported that Fumara was last seen at the Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues subway station in Bushwick on Saturday night, around 10 p.m., as she made her way to meet some friends.
According to officials, Fumara frequented the same subway station, suggesting she may have been familiar with the area. The elderly woman was described as being approximately 5'3" and weighing 115 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. On Saturday night, she was seen wearing a green jacket, gray leggings, and a red purse.
Police are now seeking public assistance in locating Fumara, given her slender build and potentially familiar surroundings. The investigation comes as the region experienced extreme cold temperatures over the weekend, with wind chills plummeting below zero degrees. Temperatures were expected to remain below freezing until Tuesday.
Fumara's disappearance has sparked concern among her loved ones and the community at large. If you have any information regarding her whereabouts, authorities are urging individuals to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS or submitting a tip on their website.

... I mean, she was just out with friends and then poof! Vanished into thin air 
. It's so cold in Brooklyn right now, I feel bad for anyone who has to venture out on the streets. 94 is old age, you know? She should be safe at home with a warm cup of tea 
️.
. But it's still super concerning that she just disappeared without a trace. The police need to do everything they can to find her and make sure she's okay 
.
can't believe what's happening to this lady, seems like she just vanished into thin air. I hope they find out what happened to her soon, so much uncertainty for her family 
. should be some kind of public awareness campaign going on here, maybe flyers or social media posts, something to get the word out quickly 
. not sure why they're relying on Crime Stoppers for tips, seems like a really old-fashioned way to do it 
.
. With the weather being this cold, it's easy to imagine her getting lost in the crowd at the subway station. But it's also weird that she was last seen around 10 p.m. - usually people wouldn't be out and about that late on a Saturday night 
. Anyway, I'm sure the police will do everything they can to find her, so fingers crossed 
that Elena is okay! If you know anything, please come forward... it's always better to speak up when someone's missing 
.
this is so scary for her family... like, what could've happened to her? she's only 94 and was out with friends? that's crazy cold weather they're dealing with right now too 
i hope whoever finds out what happened can provide some answers soon. it's good that the police are reaching out to the public for help though! 
. The police are doing everything they can to locate Elena Fumara and keep us updated on any new developments 
. I hope she gets found safe and sound, and her family gets some answers soon 
.
94 is super old btw but i guess ppl think they can handle more than they actually can lol.
I mean, can u imagine being out there in this freezing cold and just... disappearing? like, what if she was waiting for someone or something at the subway station and got left behind? or maybe she just really needed some fresh air and went for a walk but got lost? idk... 94 is ancient btw 
if anyone has any info, please reach out to Crime Stoppers ASAP! 
. And don't even get me started on how "familiar surroundings" are just code for "she probably got lost and wandered into an alleyway to die alone". I mean, come on, the NYPD is basically saying she's not missing because she's some sort of clueless senior citizen who can't take care of herself 
.
... can you imagine being that small, frail, and trying to brave it through the freezing temperatures? 
It's crazy how one wrong move could lead to something so serious. 
The authorities are doing a great job seeking public help and I'm sure everyone is sending their positive vibes for Elena's safe return 
But at the same time, it's crazy that she just vanished into thin air! The police are doing their best to find out what happened, but it's super frustrating for everyone involved.
. Has anyone heard anything about her friends? Were they together when she left the subway station or did she go out by herself?
. You'd think people would be more careful when it comes to stuff like this 
Anyway, I hope Elena Fumara turns up safe and sound 
i mean, i know it's cold out but comon nyc! 
the cops r prob like "oh, she's probably just gone to visit some friends"
