Morgan’s Point Resort Mayor Kenneth Wayne Steger, 78, was found safe late Tuesday night in Lampasas after he was named in a Silver Alert issued at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Lampasas police found Steger at 10:20 p.m. Tuesday in a parking lot at an Alon convenience store at 4th Street and Key Avenue, near downtown, Lampasas police Investigator Jody Cummings told News 10 Wednesday.

Cummings said a citizen spotted Steger’s vehicle earlier that evening at the intersection of U.S. Highway 183 and U.S. Highway 29, in Williamson County, and notified the sheriff’s office in Georgetown.

The citizen told deputies the 2010 Cadillac SRS was northbound on US 183.

“He made it all the way to Lampasas before we could locate him,” Cummings said.

Steger was unharmed and Lampasas police notified Morgan’s Point Resort police that Steger had been found, who, in turn, notified Steger’s family.

Steger disappeared Tuesday after leaving for Temple to get his 2010 Cadillac SRS repaired.

He was spotted at around 2 p.m. Tuesday in San Antonio, authorities said.

“Good work by an alert citizen,” Cummings said.

Steger has been diagnosed with a cognitive impairment which can cause loss of higher reasoning, forgetfulness, and other reductions in mental functions.
