    Thank you for posting this....its very sad and likely very scary for this older, foreign man. Is there any way to know if/when a missing person has been found?

    Based on his name, my guess might be Mandarin.

    To my knowledge, there isn't a way to know if they've been found. I get the silver alerts through the Notify NYC program and have never seen a "found" alert, though I have seen cancellations of an amber alert.

    I'm sure it must be terrifying for both him and his family. I've been on the other side of that -- a decade ago my grandfather had a stroke while out shopping and was taken to a hospital but the hospital didn't notify us until the next morning. So I'm sure his loved ones would appreciate us keeping an eye out.
