The man ended up finding the missing 80-year-old inside the car after his gut told him to check it out.
BOWMAN COUNTY, N.D. - A family in North Dakota says they are feeling grateful that an older family member was found after going missing for hours.
John Palczewski said his gut had told him to check it out. And he ended up finding the missing 80-year-old man inside the vehicle.“He [Custer] was coherent and appeared comfortable,” John Palczewski said. “I just wanted him to keep talking. I didn’t want him to get worked up, worried, or stressed or also start to look at me and question who I was and why I was there,” Tessa Palczewski said.
“I guess I thought of it as if it was my grandpa. I wanted to sit with him and make him feel like it was going to be OK,” Tessa Palczewski said. “I wanted to do everything that we could to make sure that he made it back to the people who loved him and were worried about him.”“It was a pretty helpless feeling,” Pokorny said.“We had feared the worst because of the weather.
