Original report: The Duluth Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in locating 82-year-old Ronald Tarnowski and 78-year-old Mary Tarnowski. They were last seen July 29 at around 9 a.m.

They might be driving a silver 2005 Chevy Tahoe 4-door SUV with Minnesota license plate 852JXG and black plastic fender flares. Also, they left home without their cell phone. Ron has early stage dementia and Mary has right-sided paralysis and difficulty speaking due to a stroke many years ago. They live in Duluth and only drive to get food at nearby restaurants, so it is unlike them to out overnight. Anyone having information on their whereabouts are asked to contact the Duluth Police Department by calling 911.
