The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office has issued an alert for an at-risk missing person, Tom May, who is 74 years old. The missing elderly man, last seen at his residence near Auburn Boulevard and Watt Avenue between 5 PM and 8 PM on September 16, was reported missing the following day. Standing six feet tall and weighing around 200 pounds, Mr. May is described as having red/gray hair and blue eyes, and was wearing a green sweater and black pants when he was last observed. Suffering from dementia and with substantial hearing difficulties, Mr. May's disappearance has raised concerns about his wellbeing.
The authorities have emphasized the urgency of locating Mr. May, given his medical condition which makes him particularly vulnerable. Concerned members of the local community and law enforcement are scouring the area, looking for any signs of the senior citizen, who was last seen being draped in a green sweater and black pants. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office implores anyone with information on Tom May's whereabouts to come forward and contact them at 916-874-5115—a plea echoed in the official announcement on the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
In the effort to raise public awareness and assist in the search, the Sheriff’s Office information has been widely shared across social media and local networks. This initiative aims not just to spot the missing man but also to compile any fragments of information, seemingly trivial or not, that could lead to his safe return. Given the fact that Mr. May has dementia, time is of the essence, and family members, along with local authorities, hold onto hope that any forthcoming details might reunite them with their loved one.
Everyone is encouraged to keep a keen eye for anyone matching Mr. May’s description and to adhere to the Sheriff’s Office request to contact them with any pertinent information.
