Family tell police he may be headed toward either family in Florida or West Columbia, S.C.

Going to either place, I would think he would have to be on I-26 at least briefly. Prayers for a safe return.

ETA - I'm wrong if he was headed to West Cola. Sorry - looked at map wrong.

Why isn't there a Silver Alert? No Silver Alert in SC? South Carolina Law Enforcement Division

Huh . . . . I thought we did. But I looked back at a dementia patient case in SC I followed last year, and there was no silver alert then.

I have no idea what routes he might have taken to go to Florida (no towns given) if that was his destination instead of West Columbia, SC.
