BROWARD COUNTY, FL — Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives say a missing 55-year-old woman has been safely located.

In an update from BSO, detectives said Amy Bedell was found unharmed in Margate.

BSO had issued a missing persons alert after Bedell was last seen on Jan. 13, 2026, in Pompano Beach.

BSO detectives are the agency handling the case and the update. The alert was tied to Broward County locations, with the last known sighting in Pompano Beach and the location where she was found in Margate.

What happens next is straightforward: with Bedell located unharmed, the missing persons alert is effectively resolved based on the information released by BSO.

For residents in Boca Raton and across South Florida, the key takeaway is that the person at the center of the alert has been found safe. Anyone who had shared the missing persons information should look for the update and stop circulating older posts that still list her as missing.
