DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. -- Audie Mason, the missing man from a Dinwiddie County group home, has been located safely Wednesday evening.
“Mr. Mason was located at approximately 7:00pm walking along an abandoned railroad bed north of Dinwiddie Courthouse,” said Major W. B. Knott in a statement. “He seemed healthy, but has been transported to Southside Regional Medical Center to be medically cleared as a precautionary measure.”
Mason walked into the woods near his Dinwiddie County group home Monday night.
The 58-year-old man with dementia had not been seen since.
The group home is located along the 15000 block of Keelers Mill Road in the DeWitt area of Dinwiddie.
