В нашем графстве ищут 70-ти летнего мужчину.

У него болезнь Альцгеймера и он потерялся.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A man with Alzheimer’s disease has been missing since Monday afternoon and Multnomah County rescue crews continued the search for him Wednesday morning.

Family members said 70-year-old John Lloyd Scott was dropped off at the Holgate MAX platform at 1 p.m. Monday for a routine trip to Clackamas Town Center, according to Portland Police Bureau spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson. Scott then called his nephew 10 hours later and said he was lost.

“John called his nephew to say that he was lost ‘near the bike trail’ and that he was going to sit down on the grass to rest,” Simpson said. “Based on John’s description of where he was, family believed he was still near the mall. John has had no further contact with his family.”

Investigators learned that his phone was within a one-mile radius of Southeast 92nd Avenue and Ramona Street. Officers began an extensive neighborhood search from the ground and the air, using officers and the Portland Police Air Support Unit, but did not find him Monday.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team began a large-scale effort just before noon on Tuesday.

“We are capable of going 24 hours a day if we have to. We’ll do what we can to bring this case, this mission, to a close successfully,” said Rob Cruickshank of Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue. “If it takes all day and all night, that’s what we’re prepared to do.”

Scott was described as white, 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a thin build and gray hair. He was wearing a blue windbreaker with white stripes on the sleeves, black pants and a hat.

“He was not dressed for the extreme cold and, due to his Alzheimer’s, he commonly gets confused or turned around,” Simpson said.

The Missing Persons Unit has asked the people who live and work in Southeast Portland’s Lents Neighborhood to keep an eye out for Scott and to immediately report any sightings to 911. Anyone with non-emergency information was asked to call Detective Heidi Helwig at 503-823-0797 or send an email to .
