However, the demand for WanderSearch had caused a capability gap for the Southland Search and Rescue team and it was looking for more volunteers to assist with the administration of the “vital” service. Horn, who had dementia, went missing on February 15 after walking out of his Walmsley House rest home. Extensive searches failed to find him alive, but a member of the public located his body in a wooded area of Invercargill, about 3km from the rest home, more than five weeks after he went missing. Paul Rogers, a Land Search and Rescue support officer in the southern region, said he believed Horn would have been found alive if he had been wearing one of the devices.
