Two Illinois Assisted Living Residents Missing
Wallace Schmidt
Wallace Schmidt, 84, and John Hinkle, 81, both suffer from dementia - and they are missing. The men checked out of their assisted living facility in Mascoutah, Illinois on April 7, 2009. They left in Wallace Schmidt's red 2005 Ford F-150 truck.
Tuesday evening a family member was contacted by the men, who said they were lost on I-44 near Meramec Caverns in Missouri. No one has heard from them again.
Police are following a lead that the men are in Oklahoma.
