When a person with dementia goes missing what happens?
In 2019 so far there's six people with dementia have died or never been found after going missing.
One of the many reasons we're still trying to get a BC Silver Alert created.
On Facebook Alfred's family describes him as having cognitive issues.
He is Caucasian, 78 y/o, 5'5" approx 180 lbs., grey hair & and brown eyes. He was driving a grey 2008 Ford Ranger w/ canopy & BC License plate 0556YH.
