about the death of a san francisco woman.... found new information this morning

about the death of a san francisco woman found in a stairwell on the grounds of san francisco general hospital. investigative reporter jackson vander becken has learned ruby lee andersen wasn't supposed to be able to leave her elder care center alone. >> reporter: it was at this city-run care center at san francisco general where ruby lee andersen was allowed to leave on her own. that was back in may. 11 days later, the 75-year-old was found dead just a few hundreds feet away in the stairwell of this hospital engineering building. our investigation shows that should never have happened. >> i think it's outrageous. >> reporter: the family attorney has read through 1,700 pages of ruby andersen's medical records. >> they did not pry her the care that's required by law. they let her leave. and then they did nothing to really try to find her. >> reporter: we have obtained the sheriff's missing person's

report, which shows after deputies alerted local agencies to watch out for her, no one actually searched for ruby. sheriff's officials say that's because andersen was not a patient and could come and go as she pleased. but the report clearly lists her as a patient taking medications. in fact, her medical records show andersen suffered a stroke last year and was taking insulin for type two diabetes. and she was considered a risk for falling. >> she's in obvious decline and confused. >> reporter: harris is quoting her doctor, who suspected dementia and subjected she be moved to a nursing home back in january. but andersen remained at this care center, where in april officials ordered that she be escorted to appointments. but the signout sheet for may 19th shows ruby left unescorted at 9:00 to buy a battery. >> she never came back in. >> reporter: despite her condition it took more than 24

hours before the center filed a missing person's report. and that report didn't mention any danger. >> it's shocking. maybe because the medical -- they all knew she was an at-risk patient. it's in her records. >> reporter: the city's public health department seines andersen's family doesn't want them to talk about the case but they have upped security in the area where she was found and are assessing efforts hospitalwide. the sheriff's department told us that medical privacy laws prevented them from learning andan's full condition. yet they now say they should have searched for her based on age alone. though they wouldn't have normally checked the non-public stairwell where she was eventually found. meanwhile, harris tells us the state wants to know if the facility met its care standards for someone with dement gentleman. >> that level of care was obviously a given. you can't let a person with dementia leave on her own when she's not going to remember where to come back to.

>> reporter: nbc bay area news. >> you have a story for our investigative unit, please call 888-996-kiss. visit our website, nbcbayarea.com/we investigate. now to a new high-tech tool that might mean less hassle for passengers flying out of oakland international. the airport is getting a 3d ct scanner like this one. it checks for explosives by looking inside bags from three different angles using the same technology used for medical images. the tsa says it will help cut down on security lines at checkpoints. it's no secret, scaring at our phone can bad for our eyes but can it make people go client faster? researchers at the university of toledo say yes. they say blue light coming from screens has more energy than other light and your eyes can't block it nor reflect it. over time, it causes significant vision loss. to protect your eyes, doctors say wear sunglasses that filter
