Missing Alabama Man Found In Escambia County By Florida Ag Cops

August 5, 2014

A missing man from Alabama was located Monday morning in Escambia County by agricultural law enforcement officers with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

David Cain of Semmes, Ala, was the subject of a Silver Alert issued on Sunday.

“I’m proud of my department’s agricultural law enforcement officers, who stepped up to help a family in need today,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam. “Thanks to their diligence, David Cain was reunited with his family safely.”

Cain stopped at the agriculture interdiction station on Interstate 10 in Pensacola around 8 a.m. Monday. Agricultural Law Enforcement Officer John Riley spoke with Cain, who appeared confused and said he was trying to find his way back home to Alabama.

Riley requested Cain’s documentation and ran his identification through the system, which turned up the Silver Alert. A Silver Alert is a national public notification system that broadcasts information about missing individuals, especially those with dementia, developmental disabilities or other health concerns. Public information generally consists of the name and description of the missing person and the missing person’s car and license number.

Cain was reported missing from Semmes,  about 75 miles from Pensacola, when he left church on Sunday morning and did not make it to his house. O’Riley contacted Cain’s family, who reunited with him at the interdiction station shortly after they were contacted.
