Casey Kasem Has Been Found, Daughter's Publicist Says

The daughter of missing radio legend Casey Kasem has received confirmation that her father has been found in Washington state, her publicist said.

'The family has grave concerns about his medical care. The Kasem family will do everything in their power to bring their father home,' said a statement from Danny Deraney, the publicist.

Kerri Kasem, who was appointed as her father's temporary caretaker during a hearing Monday, said the family is 'grateful to the local authorities for finding my Dad. We are one step closer to bringing him home.'

Judge Daniel S. Murphy had ordered a court investigator Monday to find Kasem, after hearing conflicting information that he was either at a Native American reservation in Washington or was out of the country, a court spokeswoman told NBC News.

Casey Kasem is suffering from Lewy body disease, a form of dementia, according to his daughters.
