POLICE have found a woman missing from her Launceston home since Sunday wandering dazed and confused along the side of a suburban road.

Acting Inspector Dave Bray has confirmed Kathy Barbara Lindner was located 10 minutes before police were set to give a 3.30pm press conference appealing for information as to her whereabouts.

She was found after police received information from members of the public who saw her wandering near the roadside at Newnham, in suburban Launceston.

Insp Bray said the 55-year-old single woman's four-day disappearance remained a mystery at this stage as she was unable to speak with police and has already been rushed to the Launceston General Hospital for examination and treatment.
