HTN: Why did Psych Patient Go Missing?

The state Office of Mental Health wants to know how a violent patient went missing from the Buffalo Psychiatric Center. 54-year-old Stephen Moore wandered off the grounds last Tuesday. He was found about 24 hours later on or near the grounds of the facility. Assemblyman Sam Hoyt, whose district includes the Psych Center, wants a report within two weeks so that security concerns can be addressed. Moore was institutionalized for life after decapitating an elderly woman 25 years ago.
