Newport police find man with dementia who had been missing

Police said Monday that they had found a 73-year-old man with dementia who disappeared from a Newport Beach resort the night before.

Robert Hansen, who goes by Bradley, was last seen near the Balboa Bay Club & Resort around midnight Sunday, Newport police said. Monday afternoon, police sent an advisory that Hansen was found alive and well.

At the time he disappeared, Hansen was wearing swim trunks but no shoes or shirt, authorities said.

Hansen, police said, is an avid walker who sometimes travels up to 10 miles per day on foot. He and his wife are visiting Newport Beach from out of state, according to authorities.
