DEPUTIES SEARCHING FOR 2 MISSING/ENDANGERED WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Volusia sheriff’s deputies are looking for Herminio Guevara, 84, and Ana Santos Davila, 89, of Winnemissett Oaks Drive, DeLand, after they left home on foot this morning.

Both are experiencing advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease and walked away from home around 8 a.m. today. They took a yellow duffel bag and blue suitcase.

Mr. Guevara was last seen wearing a red shirt, black pants and tennis shoes. Ms. Davila was wearing a white blouse, gray pants and black sandals. Photos are attached.

Any members of the public who see them or have any information on their whereabouts are asked to call 911.

Update: We received some new information that they could be traveling in a vehicle that belongs to a family friend from Palm Coast. The vehicle is a black 2021 Ford SUV with Florida tag NNE I45.
