The South Fulton Police Department has successfully located Roy L. Kennedy, a 63-year-old man previously reported missing, and confirmed his safety. Kennedy had been the subject of a Mattie's Call – Georgia's emergency alert for disabled or elderly persons – after he disappeared from a business on Buffington Court last Friday. According to FOX5 Atlanta, he was last seen wearing blue rubber gloves and is described as bow-legged.
Details provided by the authorities stated that Kennedy was found after extensive search efforts, shortly after 5:30 p.m. last Saturday. The specific location where Kennedy was located has not been disclosed. Kennedy's health conditions, including dementia, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia were significant factors in the urgency of the Mattie's Call, which was reported by WSB-TV. These conditions may have amplified the risk associated with his disappearance.
As the story develops, further information may surface regarding the circumstances of Kennedy's brief absence.
