Authorities in Hand County are asking for assistance from the public in searching for an elderly Pierre man who has been missing since early this morning. Leroy Nye is in his early 80’s, suffers from dementia and is very confused. He was in St. Lawrence visiting family and was last seen late Saturday night. It’s believed he left St. Lawrence about 1:00 a.m. this morning and is only wearing a t-shirt and underpants.

He is described as having short grey hair and he wears glasses. He takes medication and has not had his prescription meds in almost 24 hours. Hand County Emergency Manager Nehemiah Volquardsen says Nye is believed to be driving a dark green 2001 Chrysler Intrepid with license plate number 33M 202. Volquardsen is asking the public to check rural properties and to help keep an eye out for Nye. There have not been any leads in the missing person case since officials began looking for him this morning. Volquardsen says any assistance in helping find Nye is appreciated. Those that might have seen the family vehicle or who have information on Nye’s whereabouts can contact the Hand County Sheriff’s Office at 853-2408.
