She said his vehicle was in the driveway and hasn't been moved in quite some time. She said this, coupled with his physical health issues, prompted her to call 911. Police knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Police could see the house was in disarray.

Police and CFD observed the house had trash strung across the kitchen and dining room floors, feces and urine on most floors, and the house was left in somewhat of a suspicious mess. Police canvassed the house, but did not find anyone. Police later received information that the man may have left for Florida. Police and CFD locked the doors and left the scene.
