An elderly Emu Vale man who was reported missing at the weekend is understood to be recovering well in hospital after a two-night ordeal in the outdoors.
The Free Times understands the 93-year-old man became disoriented sometime last Friday afternoon, 21 April, and police said he was last seen walking along Neereeadah Bridge over Emu Creek on the Warwick-Killarney Road that day.
He was reported missing early on Sunday afternoon, and a search by police and Emu Vale locals located the man in a paddock near his property.
Police said he was severely dehydrated and sustained a number of cuts from barbed wire.
The man’s family declined to comment other than to say he was recovering well in Warwick Hospital.
