The Los Angeles Police Department and the family of Gilbert Louis Tauberg are seeking the public’s help in finding the 80-year-old man who went missing on July 29. Tauberg, who has been reported to show signs of early-onset dementia, has not been seen since he disappeared from the vicinity of 25th Street and Montana Avenue in Los Angeles, as detailed by the LAPD.

Gilbert Louis Tauberg is described as a 6-foot-1 tall male with gray hair, blue eyes, and a medium build, weighing about 180 pounds. His exact clothing at the time he left his home on the 400 block of Gretna Green Way, is unknown, as per the LAPD. The LAPD and his family are particularly worried, because, he needs daily medication for pre-existing conditions.
