A 91-year-old man was reunited with his wife after being missing for more than two days.

Michael Black, 91, was found in Salt Lake City, more than 200 miles from his home in Afton, Wyoming.

His wife, Avril Black, 77, had no idea where he was until she turned on KSL TV and spotted him in a segment.

“Mr. Black is a very, very congenial and a jovial person when you talk to him,” said Afton Police Chief Jason Romberg.

According to Avril Black, Michael wandered away from home on Monday afternoon and she couldn’t find him.

“His wife, Mrs. Avril Black did contact us Tuesday morning … At that point I did enter him into NCIC as a missing person,” Romberg said.

She was shocked to see her husband on her television screen during a segment on Thanksgiving meals served at the Rescue Mission. »
