75-year-old man with Alzheimer's missing for 9 days

Michael Delaney is missing from the Reston area of Fairfax County and police would like to find him and bring him and safely bring home.

FAIRFAX, Va. — The Fairfax County Police Department is asking for the public's help to find a 75-year-old man who's been missing since May 10. 

Authorities said Michael Delaney was last seen just after 9 p.m. in the 1800 block of Town Center Parkway in Reston, Va. He was spotted on surveillance video leaving Reston Hospital Center. Police said he was being treated for injuries relating to a fall and possible stroke. Delaney's family said he also has Alzheimer's. 

"I know it's now nine days, but as time goes on, life goes on, we want people not to forget about Michael," Delaney's step-daughter Courtney Park-Jamborsky said. "He belongs to us, we want him back and it's been agonizing not knowing each day where he is."

Police described Delaney as just over 6 feet tall, weighing about 175 pounds. He has blue eyes, gray hair and was last seen wearing a black jacket over a yellow hospital gown and blue jeans. He had dark shoes with white soles and a dark fraying pair of glasses with a strap. 

Delaney's family said he may be wearing his wedding band, his high school gem ring and a black watch. 

If Delaney is spotted authorities ask that you call 703-691-2131.
