Police in Inglewood are searching for a man who they say walked away from a hospital last week and has not been seen or heard from since.
Anthony Joel Rogers was originally admitted to Centinela Medical Hospital, located at 555 East Hardy Street in Inglewood, on May 18. He was hospitalized for “a mental health episode,” the Inglewood Police Department said in a missing person bulletin issued to media outlets.
Two days later, Rogers, 72, walked away from the hospital at approximately 2:30 p.m. and disappeared.
