A Silver Alert has been activated for Thomas Edward Hunter, a 77-year-old Largo man, according to details provided by local authorities today. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office describes Hunter as a white male, standing 6'4" and weighing 175 pounds, with hazel eyes and white hair.
Footage last documented his departure from his residence on 121 Oakwood Drive, walking away around 12:20 am. For his possibly last outing, Hunter dressed in a simple green short-sleeved shirt paired with black pants, a green baseball cap, and gray shoes. Concern rises as these individuals hold a unique vulnerability to the environment that cocoons them, and their safety is paramount.
Local deputies are intensifying their search efforts and are encouraging the community to play a part in locating Hunter, who is now listed in both the Florida Crime Information Center (FCIC) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) as a Missing/Endangered Adult. Community awareness could prove essential; eyes and ears on the ground often make the difference in cases such as this one.
Residents with any information regarding Hunter's current whereabouts are urged to come forward, no detail being too small or inconsequential. Concerned individuals can find information on how to contact the law enforcement on the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office website.
