A trusted home turns tragic

Gene Ray, a father of two and a retired U.S. Navy veteran, was living at The Waverly Assisted Living and Memory Care in Trinity, Florida.

After serving his country for 36 years, he’d begun showing signs of dementia and moved into the facility in May, hoping to receive professional support and safety.

“You put your loved one in there with trust,” Spencer told Fox 13.

But that trust was shattered on September 26, when Spencer noticed something strange while checking her father’s camera feed in the middle of the night. The footage showed him leaving his room around 12:30 a.m. and never returning.
