The Sonoma County community is being called upon to assist in the search for 87-year-old Chris Christensen, an at-risk individual due to his dementia and Parkinson's disease. Residents of West Sonoma County are asked to watch for Christensen, who wandered away from his home located at the 5000 block of Vine Hill Road, near Graton, around 5 PM, as shared in a post by Sonoma Sheriff.
Described as a white male adult, standing at 5 feet 9 inches tall with white hair, Christensen was seen last sporting a navy blue zip-up jacket, jeans, and slippers; he typically moves with a walker, which was found left behind at his residence. The urgency of locating Christensen is heightened by his lack of a cell phone or any means of staying connected and the necessity of his medical support devices, which he does not have, implying a higher level of urgency in the need for public assistance.
The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office is urging anyone with information or who might have seen the elderly man to immediately get in touch by calling (707) 565-2121 or dialing 911.
