Vancouver police say they’re reopening the missing persons case for David Sullivan.

Sullivan, who suffers from dementia and diabetes, has been missing for more than three weeks.

Police said they had mistakenly believed he’d been found safe in the U.S. last week, but that new information “confirmed that person was not, in fact, Mr. Sullivan.”

“We are gravely concerned for Mr. Sullivan’s health and well-being, and we are doing everything we can to find him,” Const. Steve Addison said in a media release.

He is described as Caucasian with fair skin, a bald head and a round face. He is between five foot 10 and six feet tall and has a heavy build.

Anyone who sees Sullivan is asked to call 911 and stay with him until police arrive.
