PHOENIX — Authorities canceled a Silver Alert on Monday after a 67-year-old West Valley man who’d been missing since last week was located.
Robert Yates of Tolleson is safe and back with his family after he wound up in a Phoenix hospital, according to the Tolleson Police Department.
Yates had been reported missing early July 18. He was last seen leaving his home for a walk around 7 p.m. the previous night.
He did not have his cellphone when he went missing, and he has a medical condition that can cause him to become confused or get lost.
The Silver Alert was issued after detectives searched the area and couldn’t find him.
