MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — A 69-year-old man who borrowed his employer's truck and went missing shortly after on Aug. 20 was found safe, officials said.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said on Aug. 20, William Golden used the truck to make a delivery from Sarasota to 1112 Manatee Avenue East in Bradenton.
His employer contacted MCSO to report him missing on Aug. 29.
Detectives learned later that the truck was found on Aug. 21, abandoned on I-75 in Manatee County.
Officials attempted to contact Golden by phone but haven't received an answer.
Finally, on Sept. 4, MCSO said that Golden was found safe. There are no other details about his disappearance at this time.
A state report says hundreds of frail elderly nursing home residents were stacked side by side, head to toe in a small church with no working air conditioning or refrigerator during Hurricane Helene.
