2 Silver Alerts for missing men

A Great Neck metals trader, and a Michigan banker - who has not been heard of since he called an East Hampton country club nearly three weeks ago - are being sought by police in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Police also had been looking for a Massapequa couple who were found Friday night safe and in good health in Westchester.

John Rogan, 85, and his wife, Marian, 86, had gone out for a ride Thursday shortly after 6 p.m. in their red 2006 Honda CRV but didn't return as expected by 9 p.m. to their apartment in the Bristal Assisted Living Center on County Line Road in Massapequa. They were tracked to Quogue, and finally found in Eastchester.

The two people who are still missing are the subjects of Silver Alerts to local media and hospitals because they may be experiencing a disoriented state, such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and may be having trouble contacting loved ones or making it back home.

In each case, relatives are worried sick, scrambling to follow up on scattered reports of sightings and conducting searches. They are monitoring cell phone calls and studying video surveillance as they hold out hope for the slightest bit of contact.

Nassau Police Department spokesman Vincent Garcia said it is not unusual to have several Silver Alerts issued in the same week. The police have sent out 65 of them this year, an average of nearly two each week. "We generally find them all," Garcia said.

Great Neck man may suffer from dementia

Aliza Mayer, Steven Mayer's daughter-in-law, said he has no known medical condition that could have prevented the Great Neck trader from being in contact. But she added that he was last seen Monday morning and made cell phone calls Monday afternoon from a location in Riverhead to a phone number that his deceased parents used to have in upper Manhattan.

"We know he is confused and evidence is that it is something neurological," she said, urging people to be on the lookout for his silver Nissan Sentra with license plate number of EWN-4035.

Mayer, 65, had surgery to remove a brain tumor in 1999, she said, but brain scans every six months showed everything was normal.

Since Mayer was reported missing, posters and news reports have indicated he could have amnesia or dementia.

The family asks anyone who sees him to call 911 or the family at 516-847-5005 or to call 347-927- 7701 to volunteer for searches.

Michigan man may be on LI

East Hampton Village police are helping in the search for a Michigan bank president who called the Maidstone Club, a country club, before disappearing Sept. 19, according to Police Chief Gerard Larsen.

David Widlak, 62, was the president and chief executive of the Community Central Bank in Mount Clemens, Mich. He was last seen Sept. 19 walking out of the bank, according to published reports.

Despite the contact with Maidstone, the club said Widlak was not a member, Larsen said Friday. "We just checked with the Maidstone Club, and there had not been any contact with him, and they had not heard of him," he said.

The Macomb County sheriff's office, which is handling the investigation, gave photos of Widlak to East Hampton for identification if he shows up in the area though there are no indications that he has come to New York, Larsen said.

The family is offering a $10,000 reward for information, according to a Facebook page named "Find David Widlak."
