A missing deaf man with Alzheimer's disease was found unharmed, the Paulding County Sheriff's Office announced Friday.

The GBI issued a Mattie's Call for Allen Lamar Boles, 61, who left his Hollyberry Drive home between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Wednesday  to take a walk. Authorities said that was not unusual for him. But the man never returned home.

More details were not released.
