The search is on for a missing 86-year-old man, David Rudolph Delrio, last seen in South El Monte, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department turning to the public for assistance in a desperate bid to locate the at-risk individual. According to an alert from the Sheriff's Information Bureau, Delrio, who suffers from dementia and diabetes and requires insulin, vanished on November 27 and hasn't been seen since 4:30 p.m. on the 1100 block of Remer Street.
Delrio, a male Hispanic with white hair and brown eyes, is described as 5'11" tall, weighing 170 lbs., and was last dressed in a blue shirt, pants, and black dress shoes; he may be driving a 2006 gray Chevrolet Impala with California license plate #5WGX080—which makes the situation more pressing, given his medical condition. His family is reportedly wrought with concern for his safety and is eagerly hoping that someone will come forward with information that can lead to his safe return.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is urging anyone with knowledge pertaining to Delrio's whereabouts to make contact by calling the Missing Persons Unit at (323) 890-5500, offering a beacon of hope in this time of uncertainty.
