Interesting, and heartwarming story, but I have questions. Michael Black left his home in Wyoming, and somehow made it several hundred miles to Salt Lake City. Police believe he went up into Idaho, then down to SLC by hitchhiking. Black suffers from dementia, so wouldn't someone have called the police after encountering him? He must have been in distress. The final person he interacted with at least got him to the homeless shelter. Also, it's quoted by the local PD that this isn't the first time he's gone wandering. Is his wife capable of handling him, and wha are the larger implications about how we handle our elderly and vulnerable citizens?
