UPDATE: Missing Pasco Alzheimer’s patient found in Kennewick
An 83-year-old man was found in Kennewick after wandering away from home Wednesday morning.
Kennewick police found Rafael Naranjo-Rios looking for directions back to Pasco just after 11 a.m.
The Pasco man walked from the area of the 1900 block of West Jay Street near the intersection of 20th Avenue and Interstate 182, Pasco police said.
Naranjo-Rios suffers from Alzheimer’s and believes that he needs to go to work, Pasco police said.
He has left home before. Last December, a Ben Franklin Transit driver found him at the intersection of Court Street and Road 64.
