Legendary Top 40 countdown host and voice of Scooby Doo Casey Kasem has been found.
According to CBC News, Kasem was located by the Kitsap County Sheriff's Department on Wednesday, shortly after Kasem's children filed a missing person's report.
"We are grateful to the local authorities for finding my dad," Kasem's daughter Kerri wrote in a statement. "We are one step closer to bringing him home."
Earlier this week it was revealed that the celebrity host, who has dementia and had been in residential care, had been removed from the Los Angeles facility where he was living, and a judge expressed concerns about his whereabouts and his safety.
Until Monday, Kasem's wife Jean had been in control of his medical care and access. According to court filings, she has blocked three of Kasem's children from a previous marriage from seeing him in recent months.
The story, which has spread around the world, has exposed a major rift between Kasem's daughters and their stepmother.
Danny Deraney, a spokesman for Kerri Kasem and her siblings, said the family still has "grave concerns" about Casey Kasem's health.
Jean Kasem's attorney Craig Marcus argued Monday that his client had the right to move her husband to any facility she saw fit.
