A 74-year-old man diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease who went missing from the Venice area, prompting the issuance of a Silver Alert, has been located, authorities announced Wednesday.
Richard Hunter had last been seen on April 5 at around 10:30 a.m., walking from his home in the 2300 block of Wilson Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
He has since been located, but additional details were not provided about when or where he was found.
Silver Alerts are issued by the California Highway Patrol or other law enforcement agencies to provide immediate information in hopes of a swift recovery of an at-risk elderly, developmentally or cognitively impaired person.
