‘TRYING TO STAY HOPEFUL’

Iconic Group’s Singer Found Days After Going Missing

The family of The Platters’ singer had grown concerned after she went missing from Brooklyn on Friday.

The 80-year-old former singer for The Platters was found on Wednesday after vanishing in Brooklyn on Friday. Sandra Hall, who performed with the legendary vocal group in the 1960s, was last seen around 4 p.m. near Atlantic Terminal after visiting the mall with her caretaker. Her family confirmed she was found in New York Presbyterian Hospital and is doing well. She was found after the family received a tip that she may be in the Bronx. “It checks out because she hopped on the 2 train going Uptown,” her daughter, Star DaSilva, wrote on Facebook. After finding her mother, DaSilva updated her post, stating “she was picked up the very same night she left by police officers and taken to a hospital.” Hall, who has dementia, became separated at the Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center subway station. According to her daughter, Kahtia DaSilva, Hall slipped through a turnstile and boarded an uptown 2 train before her caretaker could react. “She just hopped on, and by the time my niece… was able to get her bearings, the train had already gone,” DaSilva said.
