Dover Police have successfully located a 74-year-old Wyoming man who disappeared from a local hospital area over the weekend, prompting authorities to issue a Gold Alert.
Peter Reidy has been found safe, according to an update from the Dover Police Department, which has now called off the search alert that was activated earlier.
The incident began on Sunday, December 14th, 2025, around 10:16 a.m. when Reidy vanished from the vicinity of Bayhealth Kent Campus located at 640 South State Street in Dover. Police had been unable to reach him, raising concerns about his wellbeing.
Master Corporal Ryan Schmid, who serves as the department’s Public Information Officer, had earlier described Reidy as a white male standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. Authorities noted that what clothing he was wearing when he disappeared remained unknown.
The case was assigned incident number 50-25-44661 by the Dover Police Department. Gold Alerts are typically issued for missing adults who may be in danger due to age, health conditions, or other circumstances that make them vulnerable.
No additional details about where or how Reidy was located have been released by police at this time.
