A 78-year-old man with early onset dementia went missing in Malibu after leaving home to get the mail. Rescuers utilized drones with infrared technology to locate him in thick brush.
After receiving a call for assistance due to falling temperatures, an extensive search was conducted, and the man was found suffering from cold-related illness, confused and unable to walk.
The prompt deployment of drones allowed rescuers to quickly find a significant heat signature, which led them to locate the missing man around 11 p.m. on December 23.
Rescue efforts included wrapping the man in a blanket and transporting him in a basket to an ambulance for further hospital treatment, successfully bringing him to safety.
