A missing Dolton man was found Wednesday unhurt in Chicago after wandering off from a nursing home group outing, Homewood police said.
Thord Umbenstock, 64, a Countryside Nursing Home resident, disappeared Tuesday afternoon from Walmart, 17550 S. Halsted St., Homewood, officials said.
After leaving the Walmart at about 3:27 p.m. Tuesday, Umbenstock was spotted getting off a Pace bus at 95th and State. About 9:30 Wednesday night, Umbenstock walked into the Chicago Police Department Jefferson Park station, officials said. Police recognized him from a photograph that had been sent there and contacted Homewood police.
A detective responded to that location and Umbenstock was admitted to a Chicago hospital for evaluation. Caregivers told police that he has a history of mental health disorders, officials said.
Countryside had no comment.
