Fort Lauderdale police are asking for the public's help finding a 60-year-old man with Alzheimer's who walked away from a home on Davie Boulevard this week. Dieuseul Joseph was last seen near 3228 Davie Blvd. on Nov. 4, according to police, and officers say he has a history of wandering off.
The missing-person alert, shared by the City of Fort Lauderdale
, states that Joseph has Alzheimer’s and a history of wandering off. Police also say he has medical conditions requiring medication and treatment, raising concern for his wellbeing the longer he remains unaccounted for.
What Joseph Was Wearing
According to the alert, Joseph was last seen wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, black shorts, and a red or beige hat. Investigators have not released additional details on where he may have gone after leaving the Davie Boulevard address, and the status of the search has not been updated beyond the initial alert.
Fort Lauderdale police reported that Joseph walked away from the address on Nov. 4, 2026, per the department's post amplified by the city. The wording of the alert is brief, and no further statement describing the search effort or any sightings has been made public.
A Similar Case, Different Details
A man by the same name and age was the subject of an earlier missing-person case out of Lauderdale Lakes. In that report, WSVN said a 60-year-old Dieuseul Joseph had last been seen near the 3200 block of North State Road 7, wearing a long-sleeve brown plaid shirt with white pants and shoes — a different outfit than the one described in this week's Fort Lauderdale alert. It is not established whether that earlier episode and the current Davie Boulevard disappearance involve the same incident.
In that Lauderdale Lakes case, the Broward Sheriff's Office later confirmed the man had been found safe. WSVN reported that BSO detectives confirmed Joseph was found safe that Tuesday afternoon. That resolution applied specifically to the Lauderdale Lakes report and does not speak to the status of this week's Fort Lauderdale alert.
No police statement or additional confirmation has been released regarding whether Joseph has been located since walking away from the Davie Boulevard address. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Fort Lauderdale police.
