Man Disappears From LAX After Arriving From Cambodia

Authorities asked for the public’s help Tuesday in locating a 70-year-old man who went missing after getting off an international flight at Los Angeles International Airport.

Evergreen International Airlines confirmed to CBS2 that Walter Wenko arrived at the airport Monday from Cambodia but hasn’t been seen since.

According to the LAPD, Wenko was last seen leaving the U.S. Customs area.

“I went to ask Customs what was happening and they said they didn’t have anybody by that name,” said Sandra Madera, Wenko’s daughter. “Then, I started to sort of panic because I thought, if he’s not down there, and I haven’t seen him, where is he?”

Wenko’s family said he had not returned home and may be in need of medical attention.

Wenko’s family said he is an immigration attorney who was spending his retirement in Asia and spent the past year in Cambodia.

However, Wenko suffered two falls recently and had a concussion and memory loss.

“The Embassy felt that it was time for him to come home and get medical attention. They didn’t have the kind of specialized care that he needs,” Madera said.

Wenko was described as a Caucasian male with black and white hair and blue eyes. He is roughly 6 feet tall and weighs around 130 pounds. He did not pick up his luggage.

“I’m just worried because it’s already been one overnight and with his memory problem, probably exhaustion from traveling, I just don’t know what condition he’s in,” she said.

CBS2′s Serene Branson reports that Wenko was last seen wearing jeans, a light-colored shirt, and brown sandals. He may have had a dark-colored backpack.

Elderly Man Who Went Missing at LAX is Reunited With Family

An elderly man who went missing after flying into LAX has been reunited with his family.

Walter Wenko, 70, disappeared after arriving back home in Los Angeles on Monday after flying in from Cambodia, where he retired after working as an immigration attorney.

His stepdaughter Sandra Madera had been waiting for him at the airport, where she expected him to be wheeled into the arrival lounge on a wheelchair.

His luggage arrived, but not him.
Wenko had taken a shuttle to Union Station instead, and went to eat at a Philippe's eatery, Madera said.

After he ate, he fell over a few times, and a taxi driver stepped in to help and took him to County/USC hospital for treatment.

"I guess during the course of his walking around downtown, he fell a couple of times," Madera said.

An off-duty employee recognized Wenko from an NBC4 report and told hospital staff.

When the pair was finally reunited, Madera said Wenko cried and told her he knew she would find him.

"There’s an army of people that care about him and me, and that made him cry," Madera said. "Last night I posted (that) I had been searching for him for seven and a half hours, and I felt so alone. I just want to get him back home. I want him to be safe."

Wenko was in stable condition at the hospital undergoing tests as of Wednesday afternoon.

The U.S. Embassy helped make arrangements for Wenko, a former immigration attorney from the San Gabriel Valley to return due to concerns over his health.

"He fell a couple of times and it seemed to cause a brain injury, and the only reason that we really know this is he began to behave differently. He was losing his memory, he was acting vague and distant," Madera said.

Correction: An earlier version of this article reported a nurse called NBC4 after recognizing Wenko, but a male off-duty hospital employee notified hospital staff upon seeing Wenko.
