This is odd. How did Samuel leave the house without the cane?

I am thinking in the direction of Vascular Dementia. Which causes a disfunction in reasoning and memory. He might have called an Uber, and has gone somewhere.

Possible he called a friend to pick him up ? Hard for some people to loose their independence. Maybe he felt trapped and needed to take a break.
Dementia is so difficult to live with.. Prayers for Samuel to be found soon and safe and for his family, the fear and panic is overwhelming when a vulnerable person is missing . MOO
