KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — More than a year ago, an elderly veteran was reported missing. His family is still searching for him.
Daniel Dewey was reported missing on March 26, 2022. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued a Silver Alert for him. Dewey lived alone with his dog, Snoopy. He managed his diagnosis of "ménière disease," which caused a severe ringing in his ears, much like vertigo. He also suffered post-traumatic stress disorder from the Vietnam War, according to his family.
***********
His home now sits empty and untouched — left exactly as it was the day he disappeared. And his family is still waiting for an ending to Dewey's story.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office said it has spent 510 man-hours searching for him, trying to track him on the ground while also using aviation and dive team tools.
************
His family is hosting a candlelight vigil at Black Oak Ridge Baptist church on Saturday, starting at 6:30 p.m. They encourage everyone to come out to it. They are pleading for closure and answers.
Anyone with information about Dewey's location should reach out to the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND, or KCSO at 865-215-2444.
