LAKE, WI— A missing man with memory loss has been found alive in Marinette County.
Norman Hoefert, 76, left his home in the town of Lake Tuesday. Multiple aerial and drone units, K9 and mounted horse teams, officers, firefighters, and motorized search teams were deployed in a large-scale search effort.
Friday around 1:25 p.m., an item of interest was found in a heavily wooded area about a mile from where Hoefert was last seen. Officers determined it was an article of his clothing. Police found several other items in the area and eventually came across Hoefert, who was lying on the ground, alive and able to speak.
Hoefert was taken to a waiting rescue squad to receive medical treatment.
