77-year-old York County man with dementia found safe, deputies say

YORK COUNTY, S.C. — Deputies have found a missing 77-year-old man with dementia.

The York County Sheriff’s Office said Robert Davis was last seen around 10:30 a.m. Sunday near his home on Belaire Drive in Rock Hill.

“We are asking that anyone in this immediate area to check their properties, check anything that somebody could possibly go in, shelter in, go to sleep, anything like that. Let us know if you find anybody fitting his description,” said Sgt. Chad Davis with the York County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said Davis was last seen wearing navy blue sweatpants, a white T-shirt, an olive green sweatshirt, and black shoes.

Authorities were looking for him at businesses in the area. They said Davis is originally from Chester County, so he may be heading there. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division also used its helicopter to help with the search.

The sheriff’s office suspended their search Sunday night due to the weather, but they continued their efforts sometime Monday morning.

Just before 8 a.m. Monday, the York County Sheriff’s office said Davis was found “alive and well” and was being taken to the hospital.

No further information was released.
