Body found in hospital stairwell
No one ordered a full search for a missing San Francisco hospital patient until nine days after she disappeared, authorities say.
Inthat time, Lynne Spalding Ford's family scoured the city and passed out thousands of fliers -- only to find out she was dead in a stairwell at the same hospital.
Now, authorities have revealed a series of mishaps leading up to the discovery of Spalding Ford's body at San Francisco General Hospital -- 17 days after she was reported missing.
