MISSING ELDERLY MAN FOUND….IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE

HERRIN, Ill. - Maybe it was a GPS issue.

Whatever the case, Frank E. Wright, the elderly man missing from Herring, Illinois, since Sunday morning, has been located in Williamson County.

Wrong state, however; he wasn't in Williamson County, Illinois. He was found in Williamson County, Tennessee.

Wright, 77, had last known whereabouts at 7 a.m. Sunday when he left his home in Herrin in his 2013 Chevy Silverado.

There was a positive sighting of him in the Nashville, Tennessee area noted yesterday by Herrin police.

Then this morning we learned that he'd been found in Williamson County, Tenn., which is where Nashville sits.

We're wondering if he had a GPS in that truck and got confused, punched in Williamson County, it gave him Tennessee instead of Illinois, and off he went. We fully understand. We had a similar situation when in Missouri a couple of years ago; trying to get out of St. Louis, we typed in Calhoun, and it headed us in that direction....it's just that it hit on Calhoun, Missouri, instead of Calhoun, Illinois...and it took us about two hours longer to get home because we didn't notice the error.

We've been in touch with the family, and we're being told that Wright was "disoriented and physically drained. He had been without his diabetes medication for three days."

Wright was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. His daughter in Tennessee who is bringing him back is his Power of attorney and says she is "taking his keys."

Whatever will happen from this point forward, the elderly man is okay, and it's likely all because YOU shared the posts across social networking; how else would people in Tennessee have been able to spot him, missing from little podunk Illinois...? GOOD JOB, readers. Keep it up.
