A Thursday morning news release from the South Ogden Police Department said Walter Leodolter, 86, was found on the side of a rural road in Grace, Idaho. A passerby recognized Leodolter from photos put out by police and drove him to a town where they contacted a deputy from the Caribou County Sheriff’s Office.
Leodolter has dementia and reportedly left home without his heart medication. After he was found, he was taken to a local hospital “in good health,” police said.
