Police and SES personnel are searching for an 87-year-old man with dementia in Wagin, in Western Australia, which enters its second night. The man was last seen going for a walk in the small Wheatbelt town on Saturday morning.
All reports say the search involves police resources including aircraft and local emergency services. The West Australian and 7News Australia both note that police use information from a tip provided by a passing motorist to narrow the search area. One source says the area is being focused south of Wagin, indicating the search boundaries are tightened as more information is assessed.
While both outlets describe the same event and ongoing efforts, they emphasize slightly different details: one focuses on residents being urged to check properties, while another highlights the search’s second-night progress and the narrowing of the search location following the tip. No outlet reports the man being found as of the time of their updates.
