My Great Uncle has been missing for 2 days. I thought this would be a good way to get the word out. We have a missing persons report filed in Ohio. The highway patrol has a BOLO alert out all the way from Ohio to Florida.
The problem is that he may be confused. He is a 78 year old white man. About 5'10'' 180 lbs. Driving a White 2004 Ford Ranger. He has been showing some signs of confusion. He lives in Florida but was visiting relatives in Ohio. He left Ohio sunday morning 10/5 and was making a stop in Chatanooga, Tn. to visit my cousin (Around Hwy 153). He should have been at my cousins by 5pm on 10/5. No one has seen or heard from him in 2 days. IF he would have continued on to Florida, he would have been home by yesterday evening.
He cannot read or write. Unfortunately has trouble using a phone. He has been making this trip from Florida to Ohio and back for 13 years with no problems.
I have been on the phone with Hospitals, Hotels and even Crackle Barrels. My Uncle thought he was supposed to meet my cousin at a Crackle Barrel. Someone I spoke to took some information and told me he would watch his local news just in case there is an elderly man in his area lost and confused.
So, that's why I had the idea to post here. I know there are nesties all over the place. Quite honestly, He could have taken a wrong exit and be lost somewhere in Texas. If he's out west, the BOLO alert would be useless.
Could you please keep an eye out on your local news? Maybe C&P this to your local boards? The most recent picture I have of him is in my siggie.
I wish I could give my number out, but I know this will attract some freaks. So, my email address is aandgande@hotmail.com if anyone knows, sees or hears anything.
TIA!
Alicia
