Elderly Couple with Alzheimer's Found Safe in Spain Thanks to Drone Search A heartwarming story unfolded in Leganés, Spain, on Tuesday when a couple suffering from Alzheimer's disease, who had gone missing after a Monday stroll, were found safe thanks to a police drone search. The couple, a man and a woman, were located in different parts of the city, according to the National Police of Spain. Family members had alerted authorities after the couple failed to return home. "The use of drones was crucial," stated a police spokesperson, "as the area was largely inaccessible by car." The couple, disoriented due to the heat, were found with minor injuries and taken to the hospital for observation. The successful rescue highlights the increasing role of technology in search and rescue operations and is a testament to the dedication of the Spanish National Police. This incident serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by families caring for individuals with Alzheimer's and the importance of community support.
