Mother searching for 71 years old son with history of seizures!

William Rochelle woke up on the morning of July 9 and walked out of his mother's house. He has been missing ever since.

Rochelle had lived with his mother Lucy Rochelle his entire life. He has seizures and medical conditions that make it hard for him to live alone.

Rochelle, who was 71 when he disappeared, left home without his wallet and watch, police say. He didn't take the new black suit he bought for church.

The Raleigh Police Department put out a missing persons alert when he was reported missing and searched the neighborhood more than once, spokesman Jim Sughrue said Saturday. Police called in a K9 unit and officers went door-to-door.

They still have no leads.

Rochelle's family initially hoped he had gone for a walk. Once he walked to a relative's house in Morrisville without telling anyone.

Sughrue said it's possible Rochelle caught a ride with someone and ended up in a different city.
"We simply do not know," he said.

Lucy Rochelle, 89, recently distributed fliers and newspaper articles at area businesses, the police station and a hospital. She hopes someone will recognize her son's photograph and call police.
"Lord, I just don't know what to do," she said. "I miss everything about him."
