Original NIXLE message:
The San Diego and Riverside County Sheriff's Departments want your help in finding a missing person at risk.
76-year-old Robert Ernest Cricks suffers from dementia and is unable to locate his home. He was last seen just after 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 19th in an unincorporated area of Murrieta.
Cricks was in a car with the engine running while he waited for his wife who had gone inside a restaurant near Winchester Road and Murrieta Hot Springs Road. While in the restaurant, Mrs. Cricks saw her husband driving away on Winchester Road toward Temecula.
Since Mr. Cricks does not have the car's key fob, he wouldn't be able to restart the car once it's turned off.
Cricks was last seen wearing a black baseball cap with military pins, blue jacket, long sleeve blue shirt and blue jeans.
He was driving a 2007 Silver Infinity G35 Sedan (similar to the one seen in this bulletin) with California License Plate Number: 2304YDP. Cricks is driving on a suspended license.
If you see Cricks, please call the Riverside County Sheriff's Department at (951) 696-3000 or the San Diego County Sheriff's Department at (858) 565-5200.
