BACKGROUND
This is what I heard from some posse members tonight:
Elderly couple (80’s?) from Casa Grande was reported missing almost a week ago. Car was found at the Apache Lake Marina. Wife was found disoriented and walking about 2 miles from the marina. Husband has not been found & may have Alzheimer's. They don’t know how the wife & car got to Apache Lake from Casa Grande. They don’t know if the husband was dropped off somewhere along the way or was with the wife at the marina. This is still a SAR mission, not a recovery mission. The cadavar dogs have not been dispatched.
My words:
In other words, they really don’t know where to look. And with the temperatures in that area, the likelihood of survival would appear to be slim.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Keep your eyes open for any unusual situations. Report such situations to the Maricopa County Sheriff's office 602-876-1000 or Pinal County Sheriff's office 520-866-6800.
Thank you.

| I know that I can be unrealistic, but my prayers and hopes are in the favor of finding this man! There have been bigger miracles! It's such a sad thing for any family to have to face this! Mary |

The scuttlebutt I hear through the grapevine is that this is no longer an active MCSO (Maricopa County Sheriffs Office) SAR. MCSO has pulled off the case and has handed it over to the AZ State agency that handles Search & Rescue. I’m not sure what agency that might be.
This gentleman could be anywhere. The couple could have traveled around a lot of AZ before ending up at the Apache Lake Marina. It is likely that the husband and wife would have stayed together but it is not a certainty. It is less & less likely with each passing day that he could survive in his condition.
If you hike in the northern or eastern Supes, report anything unusual to the MCSO.
