The Van Buren County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in locating a 73-year-old man who has not been seen since Monday. He has health issues and needs medication.

Deputies responded to a residence in Bangor Township for an elderly missing report.

John Yore, 73, left on Monday afternoon to make a trip to an unknown place in Indianapolis. He hasn't been heard from since.
