Missing Stoddard County man found in Tennessee

DEXTER, Mo. -- The Dexter man who went missing Monday afternoon has been found, alive and well, in Nashville, Tenn.

The Stoddard County Sheriff's Department said in a news release early Wednesday morning that Ralph Hall, 76, was found in Nashville and that family members were en route Wednesday morning to pick him up there.

The search for Hall began Monday evening when he failed to return home from his daily coffee stop with friends at the local McDonald's restaurant. The report launched one of the largest manhunts seen in the county in recent years, with virtually every law agency in the county alerted and actively searching for Hall and/or the Ford van in which he was last seen.

The report early Wednesday morning stated only that Hall was found and that he appeared somewhat disoriented. He otherwise looked to be in good condition.
