The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has activated a Silver Alert for a missing man from Clinton, raising concerns about his safety due to a medical condition that may impair his ability to return unassisted. Norman Lindamood, 72, was reported last seen on Sunday and is believed to be traveling on foot. According to WATE, Lindamood stands six feet tall and weighs approximately 215 pounds, with distinctive hazel eyes and a bald head.
In a move to widen the search, local authorities are urging anyone with information to immediately get in touch. Descriptions of Lindamood have been widely circulated, with the goal to quickly reunite him with his loved ones. A statement issued by the WBIR details that Lindamood "has a medical condition that may impair his ability to return safely without assistance."
In Tennessee, where nearly 400 people go missing each year, the TBI's Silver Alert program serves as a critical tool to help locate those especially vulnerable due to age or health conditions. The TBI's recent social media post emphasizes the urgency, stating, "A #TNSilverAlert has been issued on behalf of the Clinton Police Department for 72-year-old Norman Lindamood." The public can find more information or report tips by calling the Clinton Police Department at 865-457-3112 or TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND, as noted in the post available on the TBI Facebook page.
The community's involvement can make a significant difference in locating those missing, such as Lindamood. To aid this effort, the TBI encourages individuals to download their TBI Find app, where users can receive alerts and updates on missing persons across Tennessee. "For more details on this alert, TBI's Silver Alert program, and more resources, download the TBI Find App!" urges the TBI in their call to action to responsibly engage the public in safeguarding the well-being of their community members.
