Jack Walsh of Derry has been missing since Dec. 13, after being seen walking toward Windham. Officials still don't know where he is.
DERRY, NH — The family of a missing New Hampshire is hoping to work to improve the alert process for missing adults in the state, according to a report on WMUR-TV. Jack Walsh, a 63-year-old man from Derry, has been missing since Dec. 13, 2016, when he walked away from an appointment at the Parkland Medical Center, heading toward Windham.
Since that time, Derry Police, the family, and others, have been searching for Walsh who has special needs. Flyers have been posted from the Seacoast to the central part of the state, with reports of sightings in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont, but still no sign of him.
Walsh’s sister said while the state has an adult alert system – the Silver Alert – they reportedly hit roadblocks while trying to get it activated.
