Deputies are looking for an 89-year-old WWII veteran from Puyallup who was last seen at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
That’s when the former fighter pilot, Roy J. Alldritt, drove his roommate to the Pacific Medical Center in Seattle.
She came out of the building about 15 minutes later and found that Alldritt and his white 1996 Toyota pickup were gone.
He hasn’t been home and doesn’t seem to have contacted friends or family since.
Alldritt suffers from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.
He is white, 5 feet, 10 inches and 165 pounds. He has white hair, hazel eyes and was last seen wearing a black Air Force baseball cap and a black jacket with the Porsche logo on the front.
The truck he drives has a canopy and a boat rack with license plate number A64677Z. He’s probably traveling with a small black dog, deputies said.
Anyone who sees him is asked to call 911.
