A resident missing from an Emory assisted-living facility has been found safe, an official said.

With temperatures expected to dip below freezing Wednesday night, the Emory University Police were asking the public to help find Robert “Bob” Olson, 76, who was last seen near his home in the Wesley Woods Residential Towers on Clifton Road.

Olson was located late Wednesday night in a vacant residential unit of the complex, said Lance Skelly, a spokesman for Emory Hospitals and the Wesley Woods Center.
