The DeKalb County Police Department is currently seeking assistance from the public to help locate Walter Daniels, a 75-year-old man who has been reported missing since Wednesday, November 27th. According to Fox5Atlanta, Daniels was last seen leaving the 3000 block of Moreland Avenue on foot. He is described as standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 205 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.
Daniels, who was last seen wearing blue scrub pants and a green scrub top without shoes, is not an everyday case. Atlanta News First reports that he has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. These conditions add to the urgency to quickly find him. It is said that he "exited a transport vehicle without permission and began to walk in area of Moreland Avenue near Henrico Road" around 4 p.m. on the day he went missing.
The DeKalb County Police Department is directing those who might come across Daniels or have any information regarding his whereabouts to immediately contact authorities. He was last seen with black, low-cut hair, which could be a distinguishing feature for anyone actively trying to identify him. The concern for Daniels' well-being is intensified due to his mental health conditions and his lack of suitable clothing at the time he was last observed.
Community members and local authorities continue to search for Daniels, urging the public to stay vigilant and report any sightings. The police have provided a number to call, urging anyone with information to "call 911 or the DeKalb County Police Department" at 770-734-7710.
