The Brooklyn Park community is holding its collective breath as the search continues for Leonard Bernard Anderson, a local resident reported missing since April 22. Anderson, born on December 25, 1962, departed from his home on the 9500 block of Scott Circle N. early in the morning, last seen at around 6:52 am. Equipped with only faded light blue jeans and a light-colored button-up shirt, Anderson left driving his silver Kia Sorento. Now, nearly three days later, his whereabouts remain shrouded in uncertainty.
Concerns for Anderson's safety are particularly pronounced due to his medical condition, which can lead to an altered state of mind. Additionally, he is recognized by his limp—a physical characteristic that might make him stand out to observant passersby. The missing man's vehicle was found on April 23, around 2:00 pm, at the parking lot of the Coon Rapids Regional Park, located at 10360 West River Road in Brooklyn Park, according to a statement by local law enforcement. This discovery has led to the belief that Anderson may have ventured on foot into the regional park area.
The Brooklyn Park Police Department is spearheading the efforts to find him, urging anyone with information regarding his whereabouts or a sighting within the last 36 hours to come forward.
