    Exclamation My missing uncle- DE, MD, PA, NJ...

    I haven't posted (just lurked) a lot recently. But, I have a plea for anyone listed in the areas stated above...

    My uncle, John Dohms, has been missing since September 13 in Newark, DE. He suffers from severe, atypical dementia, and he wandered away from his home while his sitter wasn't watching. He is only 64, and he is a retired professor in Biology/animal sciences from the University of Delaware.

    The police are no longer actively searching, so it is up to us, his family, to keep the idea of finding him alive.

    Anyone in this area, if you will consider googling his story (John Dohms news-best search terms to use) or look at our Facebook page...we are trying to spread the word via as many social media sites as we can think of. The facebook page we created is https://www.facebook.com/HelpUsFindJohnDohms

    There is a reward for helping find John, provided by the University of Delaware. Or, if you are willing to post missing fliers, e-mail me and I can send ([email protected]). If you see someone matching the description in the area, please call 9-1-1.

    On the facebook page, there is an updated sketch of what my uncle MAY look like after one month out. It is helpful.

    I am outright begging people to share this story. It is my uncle, and my family is desperate.

    Thanks for considering-Mary

    I put it on my Facebook page- so hard for your family. My mom has the same issues and I can only imagine how difficult it could be to have a loved one wander away like this. Hope he is found soon.

    Thank you all so much! You don't know how horrible this is on all of us. It is worse and worse and days pass and temps drop. Dreading snow and praying he is found before that!

    Is there any recent news? I was following this on the local news, and I am a University of Delaware graduate. I hope that he has been found and is safe...
