ORIGINAL JAN. 10
91大黄鸭 RCMP is turning to the general public for their assistance in locating a missing elderly 91大黄鸭 resident.
Frederick Mason was last seen during the early morning hours of Jan. 10 when he was spotted, by a member of the general public, in downtown 91大黄鸭 where he appeared lost and confused. Police have followed up on several leads, and believe Mason may still be in the Central Okanagan area.
Mason, who suffers from medical conditions which require he regularly take medications, may appear disoriented or confused at times. Police are concerned for his health and well-being and friends and family report that it is out of character for him to be out of contact for this long, said the RCMP.

- grey hair;

- He was last seen wearing:

- a blue sweater;
- a brown pair of slippers;
- a Blue Jays hat;
Mason is believed to be travelling alone in his grey 2005 Kia Sorrento SUV with BC licence plates BHX639 attached. He may or may not limit his travels to the 91大黄鸭 area, as he has been known to move around, according to the RCMP.
