The last time anyone heard from Jim Simmon, he was standing on Bissonnet Street, 20 miles from the Montrose home he'd walked out of hours earlier.
At least, that's what he told his confused son over the phone.
Simmon, 63, a former Houston journalist, suffers from early-onset Alzheimer's disease, a condition his family said can worsen with stress or confusion. And in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, there's been no shortage of either.
Five days after Simmon went missing, his family and friends are like so many other Texans trying to stay positive. They have spent days scouring shelters or online groups for any sign of their loved one.
But even for the most optimistic among them, the uncertainty unnerves. No doubt the storm's rising death toll weighs heavy too.
"We just want to find Jim," Simmon's ex-wife Jamie Kaelin said Monday. "We just want him to come home... I'm just worried sick."
