Missing 81-year-old may be heading out of area
POSTED: 7:07 PM Mar 04 2014 UPDATED: 7:18 PM Mar 04 2014
He suffers from dementia and rescuers said he might have asked someone to take him to see his family. They said Chesley has a brother that lives in Bozeman, Montana and had two sisters who passed away in Shelton, Washington. He also has family that lives in the Bay Area. Rescuers believe he might be heading to those places.
“The areas in where he was last seen, we are surprised that we haven't found any clues in a direction in where he might have gone,” said Sergeant Steve Collins of the Butte County Sheriff’s Department.
