Missing Fielding patient found

Missing Feilding man James Donachie has turned up in Wellington.

He was found by police near Parliament about midday, looking disoriented.

"Why, where, and how he got there we have yet to find out," Constable Kevin Dalzell said.

Police had been searching for Mr Donachie, 55, much closer to home.

He left St Dominic's Centre on Feilding's Campbell Rd about 5.15pm on Monday night and hadn't been seen since.
