Allen Thompson is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. At age 83, he decided one day last year to take a trip in his pickup truck and wound up lost, unable to find his way back home. A missing person’s request went out, and Allen was rescued thanks to new technology used by the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office in cooperation with the Pilot Club of Statesboro.
