The vulnerable adult who was the subject of an extensive multi-agency search earlier this week has been located safe.
According to the Orangetown Police Department, officers initially received a missing person report on July 5 after family members said they had not seen the man since July 3 and were unable to contact him. On July 6, officers located his vehicle near the Hudson River in Palisades, prompting a large-scale search involving the Orangetown Police Detective Bureau and UAV Team, the Rockland County Sheriff’s Marine and K-9 Units, the Piermont Fire Department Marine Unit, and the Palisades Interstate Parkway Police Marine Operations Bureau. The initial search did not locate the missing man.
The search continued through the morning of July 8, when Orangetown Police were contacted by a Bergen County hospital reporting that a patient matched the missing man’s description. Detectives responded and confirmed the individual was the missing man. He is safe and is currently receiving medical treatment.
