CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – A man reported missing from Spring Valley Thursday night has been found safe.

The 63-year-old developmentally disabled man, whose name was not released, was found at about 11:30 a.m. Friday, according to a report from Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Brooks said that at 9 p.m. Thursday Lake County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputies responded to an address in the 17000 block of Cache Creek Road in Spring Valley on the report of a missing person.

The missing man was reported to have walked away from his residence. Brooks said an immediate search of the area was conducted and deputies were unable to locate the subject.

Lake County Search and Rescue was notified and immediately responded to the location and started a systematic search of the area, according to Brooks. The search continued through the night with negative results and additional resources were requested to assist.

An aircraft with forward looking infrared capabilities was requested for aerial support early in the search, but was unavailable due to weather conditions, Brooks said.

Lake County Search and Rescue and K-Corp were assisted by Mendocino County Search and Rescue, Sonoma County Search and Rescue, Sonoma County Sheriff’s Helicopter (Henry 1), Solano County Search and Rescue and Marin County Search and Rescue, according to Brooks.

The sheriff’s office thanked the assisting agencies that responded with their personnel and assets to assist with the search, bringing the incident to successful conclusion with the man’s discovery on Friday morning.
