The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is urgently seeking assistance from the public to locate Eric George Farquharson, a 69-year-old man reported missing and considered at risk due to dementia. The man was last seen on the 3700 block of W. Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles at 5 p.m. two days ago, on Friday, December 22, 2023. Concerned for his well-being, his family members are reaching out to the community for help in bringing him home safely.
Farquharson is described as a male Black adult, approximately 5'7" in height, and weighing 156 pounds, with grey hair and black eyes complemented by a beard. With a photo of Bob Marley decorating the tan shirt he was wearing, he also donned a gray sweater, hoping perhaps to convey a piece of his personality in his attire.
The Sheriff's Department, taking to social media, extended their invitation for public involvement in the search effort. Tapping into the power of online communities, a post on the department's Facebook page laid out the details regarding Farquharson's disappearance and implored citizens to come forward with any potentially pertinent information.
Recognizing that some individuals might possess vital information but remain reluctant to share it due to concerns over retribution or exposure, the authorities have provided avenues for anonymous reporting. "Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500," announced the Facebook post, ensuring that those who prefer anonymity can still aid in the search using the "Crime Stoppers" hotline or via their website, in an effort holding onto the hope that Farquharson will be found thanks to the vigilance of the community.
