Reward offered in search for missing Crescent City man

A $5,000 reward has now been offered for information regarding a missing Crescent City man.

Wisconsin nonprofit Rapid Search and Rescue has announced the reward to assist in locating Norbert A. “Tony” Dantzman.

Dantzman, who suffers from dementia, was visiting rural Winter, Wisconsin with his daughter and son-in-law, Cindy and Kendal Smith, for a centennial family reunion when he walked away from his motel room Aug. 30 and disappeared.

Search and rescue canines lost his scent along County Highway W. The family suspects someone may have given him a ride, since no sign of him has been found despite extensive searches.

A nationwide Silver Alert also has been issued.

Dantzman’s granddaughter, Haley Smith of Crescent City, created a Facebook page (Missing Person - Tony Dantzman@bringtonydantzmanhome) to spread the word of her grandfather’s disappearance and provide a locale for updates.
