The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office is seeking help to locate 69-year-old Robert Leon Smith from Fort Gratiot, who has been missing since last Friday. Smith reportedly said he was in trouble before his phone went silent. He is diabetic and does not have his insulin, as per ClickOnDetroit

Authorities are tracking the movements of Smith, whose black 2012 Town and Country with Michigan license plate EXJ6922 was seen on I-96 near Davison on Monday, as stated by the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office. This has led to an expanded search area due to concerns about his medical condition.

According to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office on their Facebook page, the Flock camera system helped locate Smith's vehicle. The community is asked to report any sightings of Smith or his vehicle by contacting Central Dispatch at (810) 985-8115. Smith is missing his diabetes medication, and authorities are working with the community to find him and ensure his safe return.
