PHOENIX — A SAFE Alert was issued Saturday for a missing 82-year-old man who was last seen in Glendale.
Robert Bauchman was last seen driving from his home near Thunderbird Road and 51st Avenue on Friday around 8 p.m., according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Police said Bauchman’s vehicle is a 2016 gray Ford Edge with the Arizona license plate 66A80R.
Bauchman is described as a bald white man with brown eyes, who is 175 pounds and 5 feet, 8 inches tall. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and unknown-colored shorts.
According to DPS, Bauchman suffers from a medical condition that can cause him to become easily lost of confused.
Anyone with information regarding Bauchman is asked to contact the Glendale Police Department at 623-930-3000 or call 911.
SAFE Alerts have replaced Silver Alerts in Arizona as a way to spread the word about missing persons 65 and older or who suffer from dementia or developmental/cognitive disabilities.
NOTE: These are different from the Turquoise Alerts started earlier this year, which we also cover for the Valley. Turquoise Alerts are for missing persons younger than 65 who don’t meet the dementia or disability requirements for a SAFE Alert.
We want to hear from you.
