Missing Elderly Couple Found 500 Miles Away

There's a happy ending to what could have been a tragedy.

PENSACOLA, Florida - There's a happy ending to what could have been a tragedy. An Elderly couple missing from Houston was found in Pensacola, that's more than 500 miles away.
Texas search crews spent Monday looking for Larenza and Salomon Gasca. They were last seen by family members in Houston Sunday afternoon as they left for a nearby party. But, the Gascas got lost and ended up at The Florida Department of Agriculture Inspection stop at the Florida/Alabama state line.Thankfully, an aware officer noticed the Gascas were disoriented. The couple didn't even know they were in Florida. The officer ran their ID's and discovered they had been reported missing.

We were there for the tearful reunion with their daughter, Beatrice Flores, "my Mother actually lost a son, he was missing for three days before they discovered his body and so waiting around starts to set in that fear, because, no one ever thinks this will happen to their family, so, when they were searching for my brother we expected a reunion and we didn't get it and so this here, this is really special to us because we had no idea whether they would be found," said Flores.

Salomon Gasca has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.
