The Long Beach Police Department has issued an urgent appeal to the public to assist in locating a 73-year-old man deemed to be at risk after he mysteriously vanished from a local hospital. Michael Savee, who suffers from medical and cognitive issues, was last seen on the evening of December 27th, according to a statement from the LBPD.
While waiting to receive treatment, Savee disappeared from the 2800 block of Atlantic Avenue, with hospital staff discovering his absence at around 8:30 p.m. Without any means of transportation, he is known to have a cell phone that goes unanswered, and the exact amount of cash on him is unknown.
Recognizable by his brown hair and green eyes, Savee stands at 5'7" and weighs approximately 200 pounds. The LBPD has provided a detailed description of his clothing at the time of his disappearance: a gray hoodie, green plaid flannel, black t-shirt, salmon-colored pants, and brown boots. The department has highlighted that due to his health conditions, there is a concern that Savee may become disoriented.
Authorities are endeavoring to gather any information that could lead to locating the missing senior. Anyone in possession of such details is urged to contact the LBPD Missing Persons Detail or Police Dispatch directly. The Long Beach police also offer a means for anonymous tips through "LA Crime Stoppers" which can be reached by phone, through their "P3 Tips" mobile app, or online.
