Missing Minn. man turns up safe in Oklahoma

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - A missing Minnesota man who suffers from a

rare form of memory lapse has turned up safe in Oklahoma.

Scott Tridgell left his family's Duluth home on Dec. 13. He left

a note saying he was heading to a job interview, but his family had

not heard from him.

Duluth police say Tridgell walked into Presbyterian Hospital in

Oklahoma City on Tuesday, but was not able to tell hospital staff

who he was. University of Oklahoma police investigated and were

able to identify Tridgell and that he was the missing person from

Duluth.

Tridgell's father, Gary, tells the Duluth News Tribune that the

Duluth police officer who called early Wednesday said, "We've got

some good news."

A spokeswoman with the OU Medical Center says Tridgell is in

good condition.
