The family of missing 75-year-old Paul Patterson, who has dementia, is asking for the community's help finding him.
Paul Patterson left the Colonial Gardens Memory Care Facility around 4 p.m. on Nov. 6, according to his daughter Laurel Patterson. Laurel Patterson said the facility called Austin police around 11 p.m. on Nov. 6. They contacted her around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 7. Patterson is 6’0 and 190 pounds. He has brown eyes, a white beard, gray hair and is balding.
"There’s a slight fear because he doesn't know he's in Austin that he may say to somebody, ‘hey, I'm trying to get back to my house…’ And that maybe he's got in a car with somebody. Maybe he's on a bus going there," said his sister Rebecca Clinger. Laurel Patterson is asking anyone who spots her father stay with him and contact her at 505-235-6492.
She said he responds to his childhood nickname "Pepper" — a play on his initials. He is friendly and "loves food." The family is starting a GoFundMe to create a reward fund for tips that lead to Paul Patterson’s recovery. He disappeared from Colonial Gardens once previously. He also went missing while living in New Mexico. Both times he was located within 24 hours. that I have read and agree
