Missing memory-impaired Palatine man found safe

A 49-year-old Palatine man reported missing Monday morning was found safe a few hours later.

Police say the man, who lives on the 700 block of East Independence Drive, suffers from memory loss and wandered from the residence.

He was picked up by the Long Grove Fire Department at 2 p.m. near routes 83 and 22 and transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. Though physically unharmed, authorities said the man wasn't lucid and was unable to provide any personal information.

Palatine police activated an Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System call out requesting assistance from neighboring departments which included four K-9 units.

Police earlier had said the man had been found Tuesday morning but later corrected that.
