Update: Dillard was found shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday and reunited with his daughter, according to Gainesville Police. After multiple media outlets reported Dillard missing Wednesday morning, someone recognized him in the parking lot of Campus USA Credit Union, located at 9200 NW 39th Ave.

Police are looking for a Gainesville man who was reported missing Tuesday night.

Roy Dillard, 69, was reported missing by his daughter, Samaria Dillard, when he didn’t return home Tuesday.

Dillard left his house, 321 NW 21st Lane, at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday to get a money order from Walmart, pay bills and go to his church in Fairbanks, said Cpl. Angelina Valuri, Gainesville Police Department spokeswoman.

It is uncharacteristic for Dillard not to return home, Valuri said. Dillard is a Type-2 diabetic, and at times he can become disoriented.

His daughters have looked for him at places he frequents: Big Lots, Publix, the Waldo Flea Market and Piccadilly.

Dillard was last seen in a maroon Hyundai Sonata with Veterans Affairs tag No. DV5890A.
