Last seen 5pm today and missing person report just a few hours later? That's fast. I hope that speedy response means he will be found quickly. It's cold out there tonight.

Just looked at the map for the place he was last seen - Knapp and Ave W in Brooklyn. Lots of water in that area. Hope he is found soon.

Retired NYPD? I am sure they are pulling out all the stops to find this guy.

I'm wondering if he wandered over to a subway if he was walking around and got cold - could have ridden on a train all night? Just a hunch. Where else would he go to be warm overnight?

i live in the area and know one of his sons, there are no subways in that part of Brooklyn, very residential.
