The Tucson Police Department is searching for Teodoro Sanchez, a 79-year-old Hispanic male reported missing earlier this month. A Silver Alert was issued after his disappearance. Sanchez is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds, with grey hair and brown eyes. He was last seen near East 36th Street and Country Club Road in Tucson, Arizona, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Sanchez was last heard from on August 4 and has not been in contact with his family since. He may have his basic flip-style cell phone, though it is believed to be out of battery. Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer F. Magos of the Tucson Police Department at 520-837-7740.
Authorities have not specified the clothing Sanchez was last wearing but noted he often wears a dark-colored beanie hat. Community members have been distributing flyers and sharing information online. Additional resources and guidance on assisting with Silver Alerts are available on the state’s information page.
