Elliott C. Spreen Found
A 78-year-old man with dementia spent most of Monday and early today wandering through downtown Spokane before he was located by police through a suspicious person call at 4 a.m., a police spokesman said this morning.
He was suffering from hypothermia and was taken to Deaconess Medical Center, police said.
On Monday, Elliott C. Spreen had last been seen about 10 a.m. at the Sacred Heart Doctors Building. Spreen didn’t have an appointment that day, so staff called his sister, whom he lives with in the area of 3700 E. Bridgeport Ave. Spreen was to take an STA bus home but never arrived, his sister told police.
Police scoured the area and notified STA drivers but found no sign of Spreen on Monday, said Sgt. Tracie Meidl.
“He is very unsteady on his feet and is on medication for tremors,” according to a news release.
Early this morning, police received a call from Browne’s Addition about a suspicious man in the neighborhood, and it turned out to be Spreen, said Officer Tim Moses.
Later, police learned that Spreen had gone into a convenience store and food outlet at Fourth Avenue and Maple Street about 1 a.m., but no report was made about him at the time. He left the store and apparently continued walking during overnight snowfall.
“He’d been wandering around quite a little bit,” Moses said.

Reverse 911
The late-night and early-morning robo-calls that annoyed and frightened some Lakewood residents last week are rightfully prompting emergency planners to refine the county’s fledgling reverse-911 call system.
The system sent automated pleas for help to about 11,000 Lakewood homes at about 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 19 and at 6 a.m. the following day.
The calls were initiated by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, which was trying to assist the Lakewood police in finding a missing 50-year-old man.
The calls rattled some Lakewood residents, as hearing the phone ring at 11:30 p.m. often does. Calls at that hour of the night usually don’t bring good news. Other residents were just plain irked by the following day’s wake-up call.
Compounding the problem was the content of the call itself. The message didn’t make it clear that the missing man was vulnerable, not dangerous.
The man, who was subsequently found in Federal Way, has serious medical and mental issues and went missing from a health care facility in Lakewood. But residents had no way to know if the missing man posed a threat to others or merely himself.
In the wake of public complaints and news coverage of the confusing episode, Pierce County officials announced Wednesday that they are organizing a work group to develop guidelines for the use of the telephone emergency notification system.
That’s a wise move. The reverse-911 system – which can make thousands of calls a minute but also has the ability to isolate calls to a single neighborhood – is an important emergency response tool. Just this year, it helped locate a lost 16-year-old girl, save a 75-year-old Alzheimer’s patient from hypothermia and evacuate areas of Fife during flooding.
But like the state’s Amber Alert system for kidnapped children, reverse-911 could quickly become ineffective if not used discriminately. Law enforcement agencies have set criteria they consider in deciding how and when to use an Amber Alert. The criteria are designed to reserve the alert system for cases where it can make a difference and to encourage the public to take it seriously.
The county’s reverse-911 system needs similar rules to ensure that residents are neither needless alarmed by its automated message nor become disastrously indifferent to its appeals.

Dorothy Brown Missing
SOUTH KITSAP — Kitsap County Sheriff’s deputies are asking for help in finding a 75-year-old woman who went missing Tuesday from a home in South Kitsap.
Dorothy Moudry Brown, who is in the advanced stages of what a sheriff’s office spokesman called “severe dementia,” drove away from a home on the 3500 block of Harper Hill Road SE at about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday. She was driving a silver and gray 2004 Honda CRV, license plate No. 833-SWU, that has a moose-head antenna ball.
Brown is about 5-foot-4 and 170 pounds, with curly gray hair and blue eyes. Family members couldn’t remember what she was wearing when she left the house.
Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Scott Wilson said Brown’s stepdaughter was preparing to take her shopping Tuesday morning. The stepdaughter’s husband repositioned the Honda, but accidently left his keys in the ignition. Brown apparently drove off.
The car has a Good2Go sticker for the Tacoma Narrows bridge, but since it had not been activated as of 9 p.m. Tuesday, authorities believed Brown was probably still on the peninsula.
Wilson said Brown is not from Kitsap County and is unfamiliar with the area.
Wilson said that anyone who sees Brown or the Honda CRV she's believed to be driving should call 911.
