BAY CITY -- Update 11:10 pm (Interactive map updated June 15th, at 10:35 a.m.)

A passer-by has found Emmendorfer alive and well.

The 82-year-old man was found near Salzburg Road and Christy Way in Bay County, late Tuesday night.

 


Dozens of people are looking for an elderly camper who's been missing since noon Tuesday.

Authorities tell NBC25, 82-year-old Eugene Emmendorfer went for a walk in the Bay City Recreation Area and never came back.

The New Lothrop resident had been camping there for the last few days.

Now state police, park rangers, and even boy scouts have pitched in to help find the man.

"We'll continue the search until we find him. With all the available resources that we have here, we have many volunteers and all the local agencies are participating in the search here," said Sgt. Don Duchene with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

Police say Emmendorfer is about 5’1” and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a gray Mount Rushmore sweatshirt and a Blue Angels baseball cap.

If you see him, please call police.
