Daytona Beach search party needs help finding missing veteran with Alzheimer’s

A search party in Daytona Beach is asking for volunteers to help them search for a missing Navy veteran on Saturday.

Harold Cantrell has been missing since Wednesday, July 5th at 3:30 pm from the Indigo Palms Memory Care Facility (assisted-living).  His family says he served in the Korea War and now has Alzheimer’s disease.

His family says they will be meeting with volunteers at Indigo Palms at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. on Saturday to search the surrounding areas and canvass.

Indigio Palms is located at 570 National HealthCare Drive in Daytona Beach.

His family also hopes Cantrell still had the locator tile around his neck used at the assisted living facility.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is asking local residents to download the free TILE app and to keep it activated.  If anyone comes into range of Cantrell it will ping TILE and transmit his location.  TILE will contact the Sheriff’s Office automatically, so the family asks that people download the app and leave it activated until he’s found.

For more details, volunteers can call coordinator Laura at (352) 502-9700.
