Officials on Thursday released a statement seeking the public's assistance in locating Roy Osmundsen.

Osmundsen was on his way home when he exited the vehicle after an apparent dispute with the driver, according to his son, Daniel. The driver told the son that his dad quickly walked off and disappeared from view.

“He got out of the car and went off into the woods so fast that they couldn’t catch up with him,” his son said as he paused during his work distributing fliers Thursday in the area where his dad was last seen.

The family had no idea on his whereabouts as of midday Thursday, the son said, noting that his dad doesn’t know anyone in the area where he walked off.

“We have nothing. He didn’t have his phone with him.”

The family organized the reward, which currently stands at $20,000, Daniel said.

How tragic! It's all compounded by how very early the onset of dementia occurred. He was only 54!
