EARLIER | A Silver Alert has been issued for a man missing from Pratt, Kansas.
James "Jim" Flummerfelt, 79, has been missing since Thursday afternoon.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said Flummerfelt is a white male, 6' 1", approximately 180 pounds with gray hair and hazel eyes.
Thursday afternoon about 2 p.m., the Pratt Police Department went to check on Flummerfelt as his significant other had been admitted to the hospital, then transported to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.
Flummerfelt was alert at the time, although he experiences dementia-like episodes where he forgets where he is or what he's doing.
