Missing Adult Male LOCATED!

On June 24, 2008 between 9:15 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., Richard Cooke went missing from his home at 414 E. Tulane, Tempe.  Cooke left his home without taking his cell phone, vehicle, eye glasses, medications and other personal items, which, according to his sister, he had never done before.

Cooke suffers from several medical conditions which are life-threatening without medication and he can also become disoriented without them.  Therefore, the need to locate Cooke became a high priority for Tempe Police.

Fortunately, Cooke returned home on his own accord on June 25, 2008 at 1:00 a.m. after having spent most of the day in a neighbor's back yard.  No foul play or suspicious circumstances were involved in his disappearance.  A special thanks is extended to all of those in the community and in the Media who assisted Tempe PD in trying to locate this missing adult.
