The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has issued a Silver Alert for a missing endangered adult, appealing to the community for assistance in locating him. The subject, identified as David Lynn Johnson, was reported missing after failing to return home. Family members are deeply concerned as Mr. Johnson is diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and exhibits signs of Dementia. According to a Facebook post from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, he was last seen on the evening before in the Lem Turner and Broward Road area.
As the night settled, authorities were notified around 11:45 p.m. and promptly initiated a search for Mr. Johnson. Epitomizing the gravity of the situation is his unfamiliarity with the area and his compromised mental state, which sharply raises the stakes in the urgency to find him. He is believed to be in a 2017 Silver Hyundai Tucson, with the Florida license plate ‘REVE09’. With every moment away from familiar environs, the peril to Mr. Johnson's wellbeing reportedly intensifies.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office provided a detailed description of the missing man: 61-year-old David Lynn Johnson, standing 5'6" tall, weighing 180 pounds, with brown eyes, a bald head, and a grey beard. For identification, he was seen wearing a red t-shirt, red pants, and red shoes at the time of disappearance. The community is asked to be on the lookout for Mr. Johnson or the described vehicle.
