Deputies this morning are searching the area around the 1700 block of Leitner Road Southwest, northeast of Rochester for Donald G. Turner, according to sheriff’s Lt. Greg Elwin.

Turner is diabetic and uses medication which was left behind, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Turner has gray hair and blue eyes and is 5-feet 11-inches tall weighing 190 pounded, according to Elwin.

A report was made yesterday that Turner vanished from the Leitner Road location, according to Elwin.

Turner has friends in both north Lewis and south Thurston counties, according to Elwin.

Update Tuesday February 14, 2012 at 1:50 p.m.: Sheriff’s Lt. Elwin says Turner turned up and he is okay. “He decided to leave his sister’s house and is making plans to live elsewhere … he just failed to tell anyone,” Elwin wrote in a note this morning.
