East Hampton Town police drones, a Suffolk County police helicopter, and Southampton Town and Suffolk County K-9 units were deployed Friday evening in an extensive search for a missing 88-year-old man.
The man, Franciso Alejo-Garcia, left his residence on Springs-Fireplace Road on foot, family told police. He "is a vulnerable adult with dementia and may be in need of medical attention," said police, who are asking for the public's help in locating him.
He is bald with brown eyes, 5-foot-2, 150 pounds, and "walks hunched over." Police said he "was last seen wearing a red, grey, and blue striped polo shirt with black pajama pants and grey Crocs."
Anyone with information about his whereabouts or who sees him has been asked to call police at 631-537-7575. "All calls will be kept confidential," the Police Department said.
