KNOX — An elderly Knox resident is now home safe, his family said.

Harry Liddle, 94, was last seen Sunday morning, according to his son, Randy Liddle. His black Chevy Equinox and brindle-coated pit-bull mix named Jamie were also gone.

His father, who lives alone, has never shown serious mental decline, Liddle said, so a disappearance due to mental confusion would have been a surprise.

“He’s always been pretty with it for being 94-and-a-half years old,” he said. 

Liddle said his father frequents the Wal-Mart in Cobleskill and the Stewart’s in Altamont, but was not seen at either place on Monday. 

Instead, police had last tracked Harry Liddle’s cell phone to an intersection in Troy, Randy said. 

“Why my father would be down in Troy is beyond me,” he said, “because he only ever goes to” the two locations above, so it’s unclear whether someone else may have the phone.

Liddle told The Enterprise on Monday afternoon that his father was “found safe and he is home and resting.”
