SUNDERLAND — The Vermont State Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a 91-year-old man who went missing on Tuesday morning.
John R. Joy, a resident of Randolph, was last seen driving a 2018 silver Toyota Prius with Vermont license plate ETG 995 near the Orvis store on Conservation Way in Sunderland.
Joy suffers from dementia and appeared confused and lost when he was last seen.
Investigators believe he may have been attempting to drive to Bennington Hospital to see a family member, but he never arrived and has not been seen since.
The disappearance is not considered suspicious, but there are concerns for Joy’s welfare.
He is described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 145 pounds, with thinning salt-and-pepper hair.
Anyone who sees Joy or his vehicle is asked to contact the Vermont State Police in Shaftsbury at 802-442-5421.
