Metro Police found 64-year-old Marcelino Martinez Calderon on Sunday after he was reported missing the day before.

Both men suffered from Alzheimer's Disease and wondered off from their homes. It is unknown whether either men were wearing identification that indicated their disability.
A Safe Return bracelet is designed to help families track down their loved ones if they disapear. The network uses an ID number to track registered patients in every state.
Nearly 5.2 million Americans suffer from the disease, According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Six-thousand of those people live in Chatham County alone.
By calling the number on the back of one of the bracelets, police are instantly linked to a person's medical history as well as a list of contact numbers and a recent photo.
Jenny House of the Georgia Alzheimer's Association says the biggest danger for Alzheimer's patients is that they often wander off and rarely ever know where they are going or how they got there. "A good samaritan or law enforcement may see that person as well and see the bracelet and say I need to get this person home," she says.
Once the call is made, the Alzheimer's Association works closely with police and provides comfort to the family. They also try to brainstorm ideas for where the person may have gone based on the information in the database.
Safe Return's success rate is about 97 percent nationally.
