LILLIAN, Ala. — David Dill, 33, who was reported missing from the KOA Campground in Lillian on Monday has been found reportedly alive and well — and in the north Baldwin County.

According to the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, law-enforcement officials found Dill in Bay Minette just before lunch on Tuesday. The details are not completely clear. However, Dill wasn’t found while going for a 1 a.m. swim on Monday, such as a note left to his wife at the campsite in which the couple were staying indicated. Instead, he seemed to have been heading out of the area that same day.

“It was found that David Dill caught a ride to the Foley Wal-Mart at around 6:30 a.m.,” Maj. Anthony Lowery of the Sheriff’s Office said via email. “Mr. Dill bought several items and then left the store.”

As previously reported, Dill had left a note for his wife early Monday morning, stating that he was going for a swim. When he did not return, authorities were notified and a search ensued and Dill’s personal belongings were found on the campground pier.

However, Lowery said Dill had not actually been swimming. Instead, he was allegedly planning a trip across the country without his wife.

“Mr. Dill told the couple that gave him a ride that he was going to backpack to California,” Lowery said.

He explained that law enforcement actually found Dill more than 50 miles north of Lillian, in Bay Minette a day after he was reported missing. But most of his time spent in those lost hours, as well as how exactly he got to north Baldwin County, is a mystery.

“We believe he hitchhiked,” Lowery said. “We’re not sure what he’s been doing.”

Although law-enforcement and search-and-rescue resources were used to find Dill when he was reported missing, Lowerly said charges won’t be made at this time and restitution isn’t expected.
