Still No Sign of Missing Alzheimer's Patient

It's a sad situation that no family wants to face.

Their elderly loved one, suffering from Alzheimer's, walks away and can't be found.

An Ellabell family is dealing with that now, the only difference?? Their father drove away in an SUV.

Elvin Mosely disappeared thursday afternoon from a spot along highway 280, and the search has been on ever since.

Mosely's family's life for the past two days has been searching, handing out fliers, hoping to find a clue that may help them find him.

"Drove off," explained Greg Mosely, Elvin's son. "He was planning to head home. No one has seen him since."

According to his son Greg, Mosely got in his car Thursday afternoon and drove away. The first time in more than a year he was behind the wheel.

"He can drive, but it's just a question of knowing where he'd even be going," said Greg.

Elvin has Alzheimer's Disease. His memory is failing him more each day, which makes his family even more worried.

"As far as turning on the headlights, he wouldn't know how to do that," said Greg. "If it was raining, he wouldn't know how to turning on the windshield wipers."

The fear of the unknown. Where elvin might be, if he's ok, has brought this close knit family even closer.

Bonding together with the hope their hard work will end happily, with their father back home, smiling and laughing with them again.

"Everyone is hoping and praying for his safe return," said Greg.

Elvin Mosely is 5'5"165 lbs.

He was driving a 2008 baby blue Toyota Highlander with Georgia tag AYW7063

Mosely could be anywhere within a 240 miles of Ellabell, even in Florida or South Carolina.

If you see the car or Elvin Mosely, please call Bryan County Sheriff's right away.

Their number is 912-653-2899.

Mosely's family says they looked into programs like Project Lifesaver, but hadn't decided to take part.

Lifesaver is a program that uses remote transmitters and sensors to track missing people.

The design is to help keep track of the elderly, Alzheimer's patients and Autistic children who might wander away.

Jenny House of the Alzheimer's Association believes project lifesaver can help give any family peace of mind.

"I really want to encourage families if they are waiting for whatever reason and i've seen it a lot, not just this family, but a million families out there that are on the cusp, take that step, make that move, its better to be safe," explains Jenny House.

The Project Lifesaver program is in Chatham, Bryan, Camden, and Bulloch counties already.

It's not a big investment.

In Chatham County, it's only $275 for the first year, or $20 a month.

For more information on Project Lifesaver, or to find out how to get involved, contact the sheriff's department in one of those counties.
