A search is continuing for a missing man from rural Appleton City. On Oct. 25, St. Clair County deputies responded to NW 400 Road in reference to Dale Miller, 78, Appleton City, wandering into the woods at 5:30 p.m. and not returning. Miller's black German shepherd dog was last seen with him.
Miller has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and has a fractured vertebra. He has missed doses of his medication and may have an altered mental status and motor skills.
