Family of missing Winnipeg man with dementia concerned about his safety
Global News
The family of a missing 82-year-old man is looking for their loved one last seen in Winnipeg, hoping to find any evidence they can of where he may be.
It’s been a little over two weeks since a Winnipeg man went missing, but his family aren’t giving up on the search for their loved one.
Earl Moberg, 81, was last seen in the River East area in Winnipeg on Dec. 12. Winnipeg police activated a silver alert following his disappearance, which indicates that a vulnerable adult has been reported missing.
Moberg’s family says he has lived with dementia for several years.
“In the past he had been someone who had been an avid walker for years. (But) at this point of his dementia, he wasn’t safe to be going anywhere by himself at this point,” said his daughter Britt Moberg. She and her uncle, Moberg’s younger brother Doug, have been focusing their search in the area near his home, which was familiar to him.
Moberg’s family said he was scheduled for his first visit from home care services the day he went missing. Doug said it wasn’t the first time his brother left unexpectedly.
On Dec. 12, Doug spoke to Moberg on the phone.
“He wanted me to pick him up so we could go get the tools at the school,” said Doug.
“He was a teacher, but he’s been retired… unfortunately he still wanted to get those tools, and the next thing you know, he’s gone. Just like that. It’s been hell ever since.”
