An elderly Fond du Lac County man was found safe after he had wandered away from his home and was reported missing. Early Wednesday morning the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office received a calll from a resident on Hickory Road in the town of Byron reporting that his 93 year old father had walked away from the home. The caller said his father suffers from age-related medical conditions. Sheriff’s deputies, Fond du Lac paramedics and Oakfield firefighters began a search, assisted by neighbors. Thermal imaging devices and a Sheriff’s Office drone were deployed. About an hour later the missing man was found about a half mile on an access lane to a neighboring property, uninjured and in good condition.
