MARTIN COUNTY---77-year-old Richard Borrack of Martin County vanished without a trace earlier this week.

Investigators say on Monday, Borrack walked out of the Emeritus Assisted Living Facility in Jensen Beach where he was living.

Since then, there have been tips. People have said they've seen this man who has Alzheimer's.

Now, 4 days later, Investigators haven't found much just the GPS tracking device he ripped off. His family says it's scary to think about what he might be going through right now.

Family member Loretta Borrack said, "I just hope they find him alive but if not..you know what people say in the news, You gotta find closure."

We've learned there's a search happening Saturday morning open to the community.

For more information on the search please go to the above link. There is also a video story.
 
I am being told (locally) that he has been located at a hospital.
Looking for confirmation, will post link as soon as I find a credible source to cite.
 
I can NOT confirm this found info.
I will work on it again tomorrow for accuracy.
 
LE and TES have agreed that many searches were conducted already and TES services are not needed at this time.

The Deaths and Disappearance that Haunt Assisted Living

[snip]

In 2009, Borrack moved into Emeritus at Jensen Beach, an assisted living facility near his children with breathtaking views of the Indian River. During an initial tour of the facility, the family had been impressed with the beautiful marble floors, suede wall coverings and crown molding.

Despite Borrack’s tendency to wander, the family told the facility they did not want their father placed in memory care, a secure unit where the residents’ movements would be monitored more closely. Looking back, the family now wonders whether they made the right decision. But they maintain that staff assured them their father would not be able to leave the facility.

[snip]

At the facility’s urging, the family enrolled Borrack in the local sheriff’s Project Lifesaver Program, and put a tracking bracelet on him so local law enforcement could monitor his whereabouts.

But on the morning of July 26, 2010, Borrack slipped off his ankle bracelet. Sometime that evening, he walked out of the facility and hasn’t been seen since.
