UPDATE: Elderly Wall Man Found Safe in Manchester

A 94-year-old Wall man, who had been missing, has been found safe and reunited with his family in Manchester, according to Wall police.

Richard Craw was found uninjured in Manchester and his car, which he had apparently driven there, was undamaged, according to Wall police, who did not yet have details.

Craw, who suffers from dementia, had been missing after a caretaker left him in a car in the Shop Rite parking lot on Route 34 in Wall on Friday, police said.

On Friday, the Wall Township Police Department took a report of a missing man identified as Richard Craw.

Until Craw was found Saturday afternoon, he had last been seen at approximately 11:30 a.m. Friday by his live-in caretaker outside the Shop Rite. 

Craw had been driving the car and dropped off the woman so she could go into Shop Rite, police said. The woman was expecting him to park the car and wait for her to come out, police said.

But when the woman returned to the parking lot, Craw was not there, said police, who have scoured the lot and the surrounding areas.

Craw had last been seen operating a green 2001 Ford Escape with New Jersey registration “LSJ48W.”

A Silver Alert was issued yesterday for Craw and his vehicle. 

According to family, Craw suffers from early stage dementia.
