UPDATE: 78-year-old Asian Missing Man FOUND in Monterey Park

ARCADIA, CA— A 78-year-old man who went missing from a relative's home in Arcadia is safely back with his family today, the Arcadia Police Department says.

Tong Huang's family notified authorities around 10:30 p.m. Thursday that he had returned home after being found in Monterey Park, according to Sgt. John Bonomo of the Arcadia Police Department.

Huang, who only speaks Chinese and has only been in the county for about a month visiting relatives, was reported missing when he didn't return home from his usual morning walk about 7:30 a.m. Thursday from Sunset Boulevard and Huntington Drive where he was last seen, police said.

Bonomo said Huang became confused when attempting to return home and was given a ride to Monterey Park, believing he was being taken somewhere near his relative's home.

It wasn't immediately clear who recognized Huang, where he was found in Monterey Park or how he made his way back to Arcadia but Bonomo said Huang was unharmed.
