PORTLAND — A city resident reported missing Monday was found safe Wednesday in Androscoggin County.

Ronald Parsons, 84, had hitchhiked to a family camp in Livermore, Police Lt. Robert Martin said in a press release. He was spotted by people in the area after reports about his disappearance and then positively identified by the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office.

Parsons’ family is “making arrangements to get him home,” Martin said while also thanking the Maine Game Warden Service for its assistance in the search.

Police and his family were searching after Parsons was last seen at dinner around 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Woods at Canco retirement community, 257 Canco Road. Parsons is known to take long walks and is an avid outdoorsman, but also has mild dementia with paranoia. He had been wearing a GPS device, which was found near his home.

The search continues for a city man who has not been seen since June 17.
