Parker had been missing for four days after he walked away from his home on Cleinview Avenue, Cincinnati police said.

“Whenever we know that we have an endangered, elderly individual, it’s important that we bring that person back to their loving family, and knowing, which is more concerning, is that Mr. Parker has a known history of dementia, he may not even know what his name is, or where he currently resides,” explained Cunningham.

Parker has remained stable since being found, police added.
