AUTHORITIES CONDUCT MASSIVE K-9 SEARCH FOR MISSING MULLICA MAN
MULLICA TWP. -- The search continued Monday for a missing Mullica Township man who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease. This time, authorities brought K-9 units from across the state to investigate.
Thirty-five handlers and their K-9 partners explored a massive area in search of 64-year-old Joseph Herbert, who has been missing since November 30th. The search follows another large one on Sunday, when authorities say 3,500 acres were covered.
Herbert's family is overwhelmed by the support of the community and effort put forth by authorities.
"This is the hardest thing my family has ever faced. To have the support that we have, words just can't express," said Beverly Herbert, Joseph's daughter.
Joseph is known to take daily walks, sometimes for miles. Authorities say he could be in a shelter or a hospital in the state.
