(KLZA)-- An Auburn, Nebraska man who had been reported missing has been found safe.
A news release from the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office says 69-year old Robert Gonzales was found shortly after 9:00 Wednesday morning near a field about two blocks west of his home in Auburn.
Gonzales, who uses a 3-wheel mobility scooter to get around town, had last been seen about 8:00 Tuesday evening near Shopko on the south edge of Auburn. When he did not return home, family members feared he was in need of medication and may have become disoriented.
A mass telephone alert was issued after 5:00 Wednesday morning.
The Sheriff’s Office offered a special “thank you” to members of the Auburn Fire Department, Rescue Squad, Nemaha County Emergency Management and Nebraska State Patrol for assisting in the search. The sheriff’s office also thanked citizens who joined in the search for the man.
