ST. GEORGE — Police found two missing and endangered men who both disappeared in St. George — one in July and the other on Halloween.
Jeremiah D. Robertson, 34, was last seen by family members in July but was reported missing in November when they could not get ahold of him, said St. George police spokeswoman Tiffany Atkin. Police believed him to be endangered when they learned Robertson had post-traumatic stress disorder.
Robertson did not know his family was trying to reach him or that he had been reported missing until St. George police posted on Facebook. He was just "living his life," Atkin said.
Keith Johnson, 66, disappeared Wednesday morning after he was last seen near 100 E. 2500 South in St. George. He has dementia and schizophrenia and was also considered endangered.
Someone who recognized Johnson's picture from the news spotted him and alerted the police, Atkin said. He was a little dehydrated and hungry and was given proper medical attention, she added.
Johnson was living in an assisted living facility at the time of his disappearance. Police are not sure whether Johnson slept on the streets during the four days he was missing, but Atkin said she assumes so.
