Dementia-sufferer 'flown to UK and dumped in a car park by his wife and son'
An American pensioner with dementia was flown to Britain and dumped in a car park by his wife and son, according to court documents in the US.
Roger Curry was allegedly abandoned at Hereford bus station's car park in November 2015 after travelling from his home city of Los Angeles with his wife, Mary, and their son, Kevin.
Court papers filed in LA state: "In late 2015 Mr Curry was taken surreptitiously to England by his wife Mary Curry and his son Kevin Curry and abandoned there."
He was discovered by a passer-by while another man, who had an American accent, allegedly fled the scene when a passing ambulance was stopped to assist Mr Curry.
He told paramedics that he was not from the area.
In a BBC Panorama investigation, to be screened tonight, Kevin Curry said that he had no involvement in the abandonment.
He said his father fell ill during a holiday in England and he asked a friend to take him to hospital.
His father was looked after at a nursing home in Britain for eight months and is now being cared for in the US.
He was identified thanks to a police appeal on BBC Midlands in March when a viewer found an old picture of a man resembling Mr Curry online.
A man in his fifties, from Taunton in Somerset, was arrested last April on suspicion of kidnapping. He is on bail and has not been charged.
