GLENBURN (AP) — Maine State Police say a New Hampshire man who was last seen going to get his mail ended up 245 miles away in Glenburn.
Trooper Chris Cookson says a store worker alerted police when a confused and disoriented 79-year-old James Marshall of Goffstown, N.H., showed up late Saturday.
Jo-Ellen Jamieson told the Bangor Daily News that she was concerned about the man and invited him inside even though it was closing time. She says the man asked where he was and was surprised to learn that he wasn’t in New Hampshire.
It turns out Marshall had been reported missing seven hours earlier.
Cookson says an ambulance took Marshall to a hospital in Bangor, and his son arrived the following morning to pick him up.
