Washtenaw sheriff's deputies search for missing Lodi Township man
Updated with information from Roger Lowe's daughter.
Washtenaw County sheriff's deputies are searching for a Lodi Township man missing since Sunday.
Roger Lee Lowe
Roger Lee Lowe, 67, was last seen at his residence on South Maple Road at about 10 p.m. Sunday.
Police said foul play is not suspected at this point, but there's concern over Lowe's well-being due to his extensive medical history.
Lowe's daughter, Starla Finkiewicz, said Lowe lived with her family and had been in the area since January, when he moved here from Florida.
Finkiewicz said her father didn't drive and was home most of the time. She said family members who last saw him said he was acting normally and was looking forward to a visit from his granddaughter, who arrived from Arkansas Sunday night less than two hours after he disappeared.
"He was really excited to see her and was looking forward to it," Finkiewicz said. "Everything was fine."
The family lives on six acres, and police tracking dogs were brought out Monday to search for Lowe.
Finkiewicz said family members are passing out flyers today and are hoping someone has seen him.
Lowe was last seen wearing blue jean shorts and a white tank top. He is white, 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 165-175 pounds, has a shaved head, with brown eyes and a scraggly beard.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office at 911, the confidential tip line at (734) 973-7711 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP.

Only one tracking dog for the search? Too bad there aren't some more trained and experienced people that the authorities could call upon to help with the search. There used to be some that would've been happy to assist.

@ Amalie, thank you so much. I just hope by getting this story out and in the public that someone, somewhere will have seen him or knows something or his whereabouts. Again, thank you for all your attention and work on this. @dading, you can't even begin to imagine.....it's been a nightmare. Our faith in God and his mercy is what is keeping us all together. We ask anyone that believes in prayer to keep our family in yours. Thanks

I am Roger Lowe's Stepdaughter,(although I'm not mentioned in the previous comment as to being one of his children, he does consider me one of his own) I am extremely close to him and this is killing me. I wanted to inform whomever it concerns that the vitals are incorrect as well. He is 5ft 8 or 9in tall and 165 pounds approximatley. Please, take a look at his picture and if you have seen him, know him or know his whereabouts, call the Washtenaw County Police Dept. We want him home! Our family is torn and confused as him "disappearing" isn't something of the normal for him.
