They have searched the woods and tracks around the surrounding area. They have had reported sightings from Elizabeth to Oakland. He left with basically nothing but a backpack and a flashlight. He has some depression issues and recently went back on medications then abruptly quit them again when he left. That can cause problems such as confusion and he could be delirious.
