    Did they find the patient who left the VA hospital?

      Not that I have heard – when we do hear, we update the story – and when notices are sent to us with a request to post, I always ask them to please remember to update us as there’s no other reliable way to find out; sometimes the resolution for law enforcement regarding cases like that is to simply remove the alerts from the system, rather than a resend saying “found” ….

        Thank you.  I just remember the elderly man who went for a walk and they found him dead weeks later.
