Rescue workers say they found Marlowe laying on the ground just half a mile from the Assisted living facility that he disappeared from Saturday evening.
They say Marlowe, who suffers from middle stage Alzheimer's disease was responsive when found.
Since disappearing from the Warm Hearth Village facility Saturday evening crews searched continuously, concentrating on a six mile radius of the facility.
Marlowe is a former Virginia Tech animal science professor and longtime resident of Blacksburg.
He and his wife have lived at the facility since February.
Marlow wore an ankle band that normally alerts staff when Alzheimers patients try to leave the building.
Employees don't know why an alarm did NOT sound when he left.
