Authorities have suspended their search for an 80-year-old man with Alzheimer's who walked away Monday from a memory care home in Sedro-Woolley.

The Skagit Valley Herald reports ( http://is.gd/u0Yl81) searchers have covered the areas where they think Ray Jones may have walked.

His family continues to search and thinks Jones could be trying to return to Ennis, Mont., where he grew up. Police believe Jones may have hitched a ride somewhere or is staying in an empty house.

His niece, Bonnie Jones Graham of Billings, has been handing out fliers, and the family has set up a Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/HelpUsFindRayJones
