Kansas City police find 74-year-old man with Alzheimer’s who had been reported missing
Jesse Wilson, a 74-year-old man with Alzheimer’s disease who on Monday was reported missing and endangered, was found later Monday evening, police reported.
Kansas City Police sent out an email update at about 7:40 p.m. Monday to say that Wilson had been found.
Wilson recently relocated to the Kansas City area from Oklahoma to be treated, against his wishes, for Alzheimer’s. Police thought he might be trying to return to the Tulsa area.
He was last seen at noon on Friday, July 2, at 4885 Eastwood Trafficway. He had been seen driving a 2010 silver Toyota Matrix with an Oklahoma registration.
“Jesse has been located and he is safe,” Sgt. Jake Becchina, police public information officer, said in an email.
