The Pine County Sheriff’s Office has issued a public plea for help in the search for Harvey Pearson, an 82-year-old vulnerable adult who has been missing since early November. Officials are growing increasingly concerned due to Pearson's unusually silent social media presence and his phones being off—a stark contrast to his normally communicative nature.
Harvey Pearson, who reportedly embarked on a journey to Texas, stands at 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 235 pounds, with gray hair, and blue eyes, was last heard from on November 7 via a voicemail, indicating his presence in Corpus Christi, Texas. The voicemail, has been the family's last point of contact with Pearson, soliciting worries from loved ones and authorities alike. He was driving a 2005 silver Chevrolet Silverado, Minnesota license plate number CGL 491 when he left his residence in Sturgeon Lake.
The veteran driver’s sudden disappearance and radio silence on social media since that day has spurred officers and community members to ask for anyone with information to come forward. Pearson's regular updates and the daily connections he maintained with friends and family through his phone suggests a deviation from his norm, officials noted.
Amidst the search, the Pine County Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone who might have seen Pearson or his vehicle to contact them immediately at 320-629-8380 or to dial 911. Members of Pearson's community, as well as broader networks online, are spreading the word in the hope that someone, somewhere, can provide a clue that leads to Harvey Pearson’s safe return.
