Missing adult home resident found nearby

An 86-year-old man who went missing from an adult home on Friday has been found, Suffolk County police said.

Victor Mangine was found on Sunday morning not far from the Lake Shore Adult Home in Lake Ronkonkoma, police said. He was taken to Stony Brook University Medical Center for observation.

Mangine, who is deaf and has dementia, had last been seen Friday at 11:30 a.m. at the facility, which is not locked. He had moved in to the home about a week ago.

Police said that last week Mangine was found wandering around Windows on the Lake, a catering hall not far from the adult home. He went into the hall's kitchen and said he wanted to cook, and also took keys from a car. The catering hall owner found him and returned him to the home about an hour after he had left, police said.
