San Diego County sheriff’s detectives asked for help to find an ailing elderly man who went missing Sunday from his home in Descanso, a deputy said.
Kenneth Zimmerman, 81, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and high blood pressure, left his home in the 24600 block of Viejas Boulevard, around 12:30 p.m. He went out to get a newspaper.
He drove a gold Toyota Tundra, with the California license plate, 8E41946, Deputy Eli Curran of the Pine Valley station said.
Zimmerman did not take his medication before he left. Currant said it was not believed that he had it with him, Curran said, nor did he have a cell phone.
