Missing Santee Man Found Safe

A man with dementia who went missing has been reunited with his family.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, 70-year-old Larry Negrette was found Monday night in the 10200 block of Ashwood Street in Lakeside. That's about five miles away from his home in the 9400 block of Mission Gorge Road in Santee, where he had last been seen Saturday.

A resident discovered Negrette around 10:15 p.m. He appeared disoriented and couldn't remember his address or phone number, according to officials. That resident called the sheriff's department.

Negrette’s family was especially concerned by his disappearance because he suffers from dementia and high blood pressure.
