Missing Desert Hot Springs man returns home safely
The Desert Hot Springs Police Department said a man who was reported missing Wednesday afternoon is now home safe.
The California Highway Patrol issued a Silver Alert for 75-year-old Milan Butkovich after he failed to return to his home Monday night. Authorities said Butkovich has medical problems and needs medications daily so his family was concerned for his safety.
Sgt. C. Lindsey with DHS police said Butkovich returned home to his family at 1:53 a.m. Thursday. There was no word as to where he was during the time he was reported missing.
