Missing Alzheimer's Patient Survives Night Outdoors

An elderly Monroeville man is safe at home after spending the night outdoors.

Robert Henline, 83, was reported missing early Monday morning.

His family told police Henline, who has Alzheimer’s and lives alone, was last seen around midnight at his Cottonwood Drive home.

Family members said they discovered he was missing when he did not answer their phone calls.

After searching the Garden City area of Monroeville for about an hour, rescue crews found the missing man on a nearby porch.

Henline's daughter has some advice for anyone else who cares for an Alzheimer’s patient.

"Anyone with an Alzheimer’s family … please gets a bracelet, ID, anything. This is a nightmare I wouldn't want anybody to have to go through," said Lorrie Hunter.

Henline was alert and conscious when he was found.
