Police say a 79-year-old West Jordan man, missing since Sunday, has been found alive and well.

Oscar De Leon, who suffers from arthritis and memory loss, had been last seen walking near his home on Sunday, West Jordan police Detective J.C. Holt said.

“Mr. De Leon was located last night in good healthy and no further assistance is needed [from the public],” Holt confirmed Tuesday.

WJPD had earlier issued a missing and endangered person alert for De Leon.

Holt said that De Leon was located by Utah Transit Authority police near an otherwise unspecified downtown TRAX station Monday night.

“He appeared to be disoriented and confused but was in good health,” Holt said.
