St. Paul police said an 85-year-old man who went missing Tuesday has been found.

Robert Oslund was located at a bus stop in the area of 25th and 27th avenues south in Minneapolis.

He had been missing since Tuesday around 9 a.m., where he had last been seen at a parking ramp near Kellogg Boulevard and Sibley Street in downtown St. Paul, said police spokesman Howie Padilla. Oslund had been with his daughter when he walked away and she lost sight of him, Padilla said.

Oslund had apparently gotten into a disagreement with his daughter, who was taking him to a guardianship hearing that could have had him declared a vulnerable adult, according to police spokesman Sgt. Paul Paulos. He hit her and then left, Paulos said.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
