Police release time progressed photo of missing former prof.
As the search continues for retired University of Delaware professor John E. Dohms, the Newark Police Department released a time progressed photo of what the 64-year-old may currently look like, a month after he went missing.
Dohms, who suffers from dementia, was last seen walking northbound on Creek Road into White Clay Creek State Park around 3 p.m. on Sept. 13.
According to police, Dohms was last seen wearing a bright green button-down shirt, green socks, white tennis shoes and khaki shorts. He wears a Medic Alert bracelet on his left wrist and may have a set of binoculars.
The University of Delaware is offering a $10,000 reward for locating the retired professor.
Anyone with information should contact Newark police at 302-366-7111. They’re also asking residents of northern Newark, Hockessin and even southern Chester County, Pa. to check their sheds, outbuildings, cars, under decks or other places of shelter.
