Craig Rhodenizer, the 48-year old Lewiston resident and pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Lyndonville, was found Friday morning outside a strip club in Dayton, Ohio.

When members of the Riverside Police Department approached him, they say he appeared distraught and told them he did not recall how he got there and didn’t know who he was. Rhodenizer was taken to Grand View Medical Hospital in Dayton for tests.

Rhodenizer had been last heard from late Wednesday afternoon when he told his wife he was taking his computer to be fixed at Best Buy in Amherst. After he didn’t come back and didn’t answer his cell phone, a search began that included agents from the FBI.
