MISSING PERSON FOUND SAFELY!!!
This morning, the Jasper County Emergency Response Team (JCERT) responded to a report of a missing elderly male from a community near County Road 8 at approximately 0915. Family members reported that the individual, who has known medical conditions, had walked away from the home and was missing. Following 30–60 minutes without contact confirmation, family members contacted 911, and Jasper County 911 promptly dispatched JCERT and additional agencies to initiate a search.
Responders established multiple search patterns throughout the surrounding wooded area, quickly identifying tracks consistent with the missing individual. With support from family and locals, the individual safely returned to his residence without further medical or safety concerns.
Although some information suggested a possible connection to a hunting event, this could not be confirmed.
JCERT would like to recognize and thank Jasper County Emergency Management, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department, AmeriPro EMS, and the Jasper County Search and Rescue Team for their coordinated response, professionalism, and commitment to the community, which contributed to a safe and successful outcome for all involved.
