The Montgomery County Department of Police is expressing its deep concern and urgently calling on the community for aid in the search for Maurice Whiting, a 73-year-old man reported missing in Silver Spring. The plea comes as investigators ramp up efforts to locate Whiting, who was last seen by family members leaving his residence in an undisclosed part of Silver Spring.
Authorities have not yet shared many specifics regarding Whiting's disappearance, but are urging anyone with information to come forward. To quickly gather and disseminate information, detectives from the county's 3rd District Investigative Section were prompted to release a public statement seeking help from locals.
Whiting is described as a man of about 5'10" with a medium build, gray hair, and brown eyes. The Montgomery County Department of Police's release included a photograph of the missing man to assist in identification. At this time, details of his clothing at the time of his disappearance have not been disclosed, nor have the circumstances under which Whiting went missing been elaborated upon.
