"I'm Going to Sokcho to Die"... 80-Year-Old Senior Rescued Safely

Here is a heartwarming story related to a missing person alert.

Last month, an 85-year-old senior with dementia living in Daejeon went missing after leaving home.

After receiving the missing person report, the police tracked the senior's movements and confirmed that the individual had told a taxi driver, "I am going to Sokcho to die," before getting off at the Daejeon Intercity Bus Terminal.

The police immediately issued a missing person alert for the senior with dementia.

The following day, a citizen identified as A, who was passing through downtown Sokcho, spotted the senior wandering around. Recalling the description from the missing person alert, the citizen immediately called 112.

Thanks to this, the senior was rescued safely without any major health issues and was able to return to the arms of their family.

The police presented citizen A with a letter of appreciation and a reward for the report.
