Volusia County sheriff's deputies are seeking the public's help in locating a missing 73-year-old Deltona man who has dementia and hasn't been seen since this morning.

Tejera frequently wanders away on walks, usually with a walking stick or golf club, but he is usually found a short time afterward. He has Alzheimer's disease and does not have access to a vehicle. 

Tejera is a about 5'6" and 140 pounds with short white hair, and he's clean-shaven. He speaks fluent Spanish and English. A photo is attached.
