A New Hampshire man, 78, and his wife were driving in separate cars to their new home in Pennsylvania at about 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14 when the man went through the EZ Pass lane at a Massachusetts toll plaza and wasn’t heard from again that day. He had become disoriented and confused and may have had an episode of dementia. He went missing that day and overnight, and it seems he had spent the night in his vehicle. His wife was concerned especially because he needed to take his daily medication.
