For more than a year, the family of an elderly man has been searching for him. Now they're asking for the public's help.
San Antonio police say 86-year-old Marlon Hahn was taken by a woman he was living with after a court granted his daughter, Norma Rose, emergency guardianship.
"I'm very concerned about my dad," said Rose.
She said her father met a much younger woman at church about a year ago. Since then, she said, the woman eventually moved in with him and cut off contact with his family.
Rose said she had to hire a private investigator to track her father down.
"Angelique was able to get us the address, the car license plate, vin numbers—everything."
After finding where her father was staying, she was able to file for emergency guardianship, which was granted. But when she went to pick up her father at the apartment he was staying at with the woman, they were no longer living there.
"She took my dad with her again," Rose said. "Now we don't know where he is again."
Rose said her father's accounts have been drained.
"All his credit cards are maxed out. They're in arrears in excess of 150 days past due. His annuity is being sought after by here. His 401(k) is gone."
The concerns don't end there. According to Rose, her father's annuity is valued at $175,000 and the woman he's believed to be with has filed a lawsuit against the insurance company to try and cash it out.
A name of the woman and photos were provided to KENS 5 by the attorney and family, but SAPD were not able to confirm she is the suspect in Hahn's disappearance.
Rose said before she lost contact with her father, she took him in for testing which showed he was in need of constant care.
"He was diagnosed with onset dementia, so there were three mini cognitive test that were done," she said. "He failed them all."
Rose said her father needs to be with her family and she will not stop looking for him.
"It's like when your missing a child, you don't know if they're eating or are they cold or are they being looked after. Are they being taken care of? What's going on through his mind? His mind is that of a child," said Rose.
SAPD is asking that anyone who knows the whereabouts of Hahn to please contact their missing persons division at 210-207-7660.
