Degraded dispatch traffic mentioned welfare check, hitchhiking

Hartford/Germantown dispatch radio traffic included a partly degraded transmission mentioning a welfare check and “hitchhiking.” Radio traffic minutes later showed a unit asking to be assigned to that welfare check and asking for the person’s location. The transmissions were partly degraded, and the traffic did not give a reliable location or say what came of the check.
