BRUNSWICK COUNTY, Va. — Officials said the 69-year-old man who disappeared Thursday afternoon has been found safe.

Brunswick County Sheriff Brian Roberts said 69-year-old Eddie Lee Pace of Reavis Gin Road in Brunswick County was reported missing by his daughter just before 1:10 p.m.

Pace, who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is described as a black male around six feet two inches tall and weighing 240 pounds.

Neighbors said they spotted Pace in the 1500 block of Travis Drive in Lawrenceville around 11:30 a.m.

“We just found him,” Roberts wrote in an email around 8:20 p.m. “He is being checked by medical as we speak. ”

Three tracking dogs were used in the search.

Pace is the third person who has disappeared in Brunswick County over past few weeks.

Earlier this week, the body of 57-year-old David Wayne Clarywas found in the woods near his Brunswick County home.  Clary was last seen at his residence on Vineland Road at about 9 p.m. Monday.

Two weeks ago, 79-year-old Francis Cleaton, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, was found safe in the woods less than a mile from his family’s home Sunday afternoon. He had been missing  since Saturday morning.
