KINGMAN, Kan. (AP) -- Police say an 89-year-old Kingman man who was the subject of a Silver Alert has been found dead.

The search for Wallace "Gene" Fairchild ended after his body was found late Tuesday. Details of where his body was found and how he died have not been released.

Fairchild, who suffered from dementia, was last seen about noon Tuesday driving on U.S. 54 near Kingman.

Family members contacted police after he didn't show up at either of two daily visits with family members.
