The local community of Salem Township, Michigan, breathed a sigh of relief on Thursday morning as news broke that the missing elderly citizen, Donald Roberts, was located safely.
Reports suggest that 82-year-old Donald Roberts was missing from his residence on Chubb Road since the early hours of Thursday. Roberts suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that threatened to complicate the search for him.

In a quick turn of events, State police confirmed at 10:22 a.m. via social media that Roberts had been found and was safe. The news was met with a wave of relief from concerned community members and authorities alike.
Ever-vigilant local citizens and law enforcement officers worked relentlessly through those worrying hours, ensuring that Roberts, despite his vulnerable state, was found safely.
A much-needed reminder came out of this occurrence for all community members – to look out for our vulnerable elderly citizens and never hesitate in supporting local law enforcement officers in their endeavors to keep our community safe.
