Mark's son spoke with Mark on the phone on 11/10/2025 at 2:30PM. Mark was presumed to be okay and at his residence at that time.

Mark was supposed to to attend a dinner at The Cellar Pub and Grill, 812 W Oakwood Road Oak Creek 53154, on 11/11/25 at 5:00PM but he did not show. Mark has this dinner weekly with his friends and it is unusual for him to miss it without prior notification.

Mark's Daughter in Law went to Mark's residence on 11/11/25 at 7PM. She organized Mark's necessary medications, fed the cat and arranged rooms in the residence for when mark returned home. She sent Mark a text that she was at the residence. Mark did not answer the text and did not come home while she was there. She assumed Mark was at his dinner and did not know Mark did not attend.

The morning of 11/12/2025, multiple family members began realizing that Mark's phone was off and that he was not answering. It is very unusual for Mark's phone to be turned off for an extended period of time. Mark's son and Daughter in Law went to Marks residence at 06:00PM to check the residence. Mark was not home and his vehicle was still missing. Marks Daughter realized that the residence was left exactly as she had left it on 11/11 indicating that Mark never returned home. Mark's necessary medications remained untouched on the counter.

Marks daughter in law was positive that Mark left the residence without any of his medications. Mark takes necessary medications for kidney failure, heart disease and diabetes. Mark has no history of cognitive issues, mental health issues, or depression.

Mark's vehicle has a handicap ramp and an electronic scooter in the rear. Vehicle also has a "VIP" sticker above the Town and Country emblem on the tailgate. Mark is a double leg amputee and utilizes a hand control system to operate his vehicle.

❗️Big things are happening at Waukesha County Communications!

Starting the week of 11/10, we will begin using Aurelian, an AI-assisted call handling solution that helps route non-emergency calls for service.

Why are we using Aurelian?

Our 911 telecommunicators handle everything from barking dogs to parking questions, calls that can delay life-saving emergency responses. Aurelian helps by:

• Reducing administrative call volume so our dispatchers can focus on critical incidents.

• Speeding up call processing for greater efficiency .

• Offering features like language translation, transcription, and location validation.

How it works:

Ava, the Aurelian chatbot, follows custom routes to gather info from non-emergency callers. It summarizes the call and alerts dispatchers via a dashboard. Emergency calls are always routed directly to a live dispatcher.

This new technology is a step forward in how we serve our community. Aurelian will help us manage incoming calls more efficiently, ensuring that every caller gets the help they need as quickly as possible.

Stay tuned for more details on how and why we’re implementing this exciting change!
