A man suffering from dementia wandered away from his care facility and hasn’t been seen since, prompting a search conducted by the Washington State Patrol (WSP) and the Federal Way Police Department (FWPD).

The man, Paul De Vorce, is 69 years old, and was last seen on March 20 around 9 p.m. when he left his care facility on South 309th Street in Federal Way. Due to his condition, law enforcement is concerned for his well-being, believing he will struggle to find his way back.

He was last seen wearing a gray Seahawks beanie and jersey, black sweatpants, and white shoes. He was carrying a black duffel bag.

If anyone sees him or knows where he is, call 911.
