A Lower Southampton police official told LevittownNow.com Waibel “appears to have been the victim of a medical condition.”

Waibel was last seen at 6:30 a.m. Thursday at her home on Pebbleridge Court by her granddaughter before she went to school. Police later tracked the missing woman to Bristol Township, Lower Makefield and Ewing, N.J. using the GPS on her Verizon cell pohne. As of Thursday morning, the woman’s phone signal was being tracked in Mercer County, N.J.

Waibel was driving a 2010 gold, two-door Chrysler Sebring.
