Elderly missing South Carolina man located in Weehawken by Port Authority Police

A man reported missing from South Carolina last week was found by the Port Authority Police near the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel at about 7 p.m. on Aug. 28
Port Authority Police Officer Michael Cavezza was on patrol near the Lincoln Tunnel entrance at JFK Boulevard when he was approached by an 85-year-old man driving a 1993 Chrysler New Yorker bearing S.C. plates, the police report said. The driver said he needed directions. Officer Cavezza asked the driver where he wanted to go and the man uttered statements the officer couldn’t understand. The man’s statements led the officer to believe he was confused. The officer inquired further and the driver produced a commercial driver’s license, and the driver said he he drives trucks. The officer performed a computer check and found the man had been reported missing from South Carolina two days earlier. The officer contacted Port Authority Detectives and the man was removed to Hoboken University Medical Center by ambulance.
The officer contacted the man’s local police department in S.C., and made contact with the missing person’s son. His son and other family members confirmed they would travel to Hoboken from Society Hill, S.C., to pick up the gentleman from the hospital, where he will remain until their arrival.
