Game wardens on Monday found a 76-year-old man with cognitive issues who had last been seen in his Hollis house Saturday night.

Officials believe the man left his Mason Road home on foot sometime between 2:30 and 9:30 a.m. Sunday. He had last been seen at his house around 8 p.m. Saturday, according to the Maine Warden Service.

The man was found conscious and alert at 11:20 a.m. Monday by a game warden who was searching near the Hollis home, according to the warden service. He was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland as a precaution.

The search included 12 K-9 teams, drones, ground searchers, aircraft and ATVs. It expanded Monday morning in the wooded areas along Cape Road.

The warden service had asked family, neighbors and other local residents to stay out of the woods while the search was conducted. People who live in the area were asked to check their property, including looking in outbuildings, cars or other areas where a person could be.

The search on Sunday included game wardens, Maine State Police, Hollis Fire Department, Westbrook Police Department, Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, Maine Forest Rangers, Waterboro Fire Department, York County Emergency Management Agency and Maine Search and Rescue Dogs.
