My mind jumps to the possibility that he was victimized by someone who saw this elderly man as vulnerable and his car was stolen, OR perhaps he was confused or disoriented and ended up driving in an entirely different direction than he originally intended, in which case I hold out hope he could have encountered a good Samaritan and may be safe somewhere and just not able to contact his family yet.

I would hope local hospitals have already been checked for any recent admissions of men matching Mr. Holzer’s description, though.
