Pokemon Go Helped A Missing Navy Veteran Find His Way Home

On April 20th, 2018, Allison Simpson Hines was hunting for virtual creatures when she stumbled upon Homer Howard, an 83-year-old man with dementia who had been missing for a day.
She was taking her "daily loop" to check in at various Poke Stops, and spotted Howard at the stop in Kenny Shields Park in Covington, Kentucky.
Hines caught her attention because he was wearing a Navy hat.
When Hines started talking to Howard she said he seemed really confused and thought his wife was coming to get him.

After a while, Howard remembered his name and phone number, and the name of his wife.
Hines was able to get in touch with his family, who told her that Howard had been missing for more than 24 hours.
When Hines found him, Howard was about 35 miles from his home in Maineville, Ohio, and had crossed state line.

Hines met Howard's family at the local police station.
They snapped some pictures before going their separate ways.
