The family members of a missing Preston man who has dementia are hoping dozens of volunteers show up at Dolittle Rd. on Saturday to help look for 72-year-old Henry Hood. The family says it has been four weeks since he got out of his house through a basement window.

“(Neighbors) please, please check their sheds, their garages, their boats, their RVs," Hood's daughter-in-law, Kimberly Boyle, said. "Any outbuildings, we need them to check those buildings."

Boyle says Hood was under family supervision at home, where all doors were kept locked and secure, but he got out through a basement window. Now Boyle is leading a volunteer search this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dolittle Rd.

How sad. Given the colder temperatures, I don't think he's alive, especially in pajamas.

This just breaks my heart. The family was trying to keep him safe, who would have thought he'd climb out a basement window. I don't think he's alive at this point, but I do hope he is found and brought home to be laid to rest.
