A HAPPY REUNION FOR THE FAMILY OF A MISSING MAN WITH ALZHEIMERS. TWO DAYS AFTER DISAPPEARING FROM HIS ALBUQUERQUE HOME. 74-YEAR-OLD JOSE RIVERA WAS PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ABOUT 40 MILES OUTSIDE OF ROSWELL. JULIE FERTIG WAS THERE AS HE WAS REUNITED WITH HIS SONS. SHE JOINS US IN OUR ROSWELL BUREAU. AFTER TWO SLEEPLESS NIGHTS... JOSE RIVERA'S SONS COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE RELIEVED TO SEE THEIR FATHER SAFE AND SOUND. THE FAMILY GOT THE GOOD NEWS FROM STATE POLICE THIS MORNING. YESTERDAY... A DRIVER WAS ON HIS WAY HOME TO ROSWELL WHEN HE SPOTTED RIVERA ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. RIVERA TOLD THE DRIVER HE HAD RUN OUT OF GAS AND WAS WAITING FOR HIS WIFE TO COME. THIS MORNING... THE SAME DRIVER NOTICED RIVERA WAS STILL ON THE ROAD AND ALERTED AUTHORITIES. RIVERA'S NOW BEING TREATED FOR DEHYDRATION IN THE HOSPITAL. RIVERA'S SONS SAY IT LOOKS LIKE THEIR DAD HADN'T HAD ANYTHING TO EAT OR DRINK SINCE HE DISAPPEARED. RIVERA'S EXPECTED TO BE RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL TODAY. HIS SONS ARE EXCITED TO TAKE THEIR DAD HOME SO HE CAN REUNITE WITH HIS WIFE AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. REPORTING LIVE FROM THE ROSWELL BUREAU.... JULIE FERTIG.... EWN4. THANKS JULIE. THE FAMILY'S NOT REALLY SURE HOW RIVERA MADE HIS WAY TO ROSWELL. THEY CAN ONLY SPECULATE HE MAY HAVE HAD SOME BUSINESS OR A FRIEND THERE MANY YEARS AGO-- AND GOT CONFUSED.  « Less
