The San Antonio community is on alert as the search intensifies for Gerald Bonner, a 43-year-old man missing since November 4. According to KSAT, Bonner was last seen on Florida Street and Labor Street and was believed to be heading out for a camping trip that he never made it to.
Bonner's disappearance has led to the involvement of the San Antonio Police Department, which has issued a CLEAR Alert, a measure reserved for cases when an adult is presumed to be in jeopardy, as reported by Fox San Antonio, he is described as 6 feet, 1 inch tall, weighs about 175 pounds and sports brown eyes with brown hair cut in a buzz style, and distinct tattoos including a spider on his stomach and others on his arms, glasses are also a part of his usual attire.
It was also noted by his brother, William Bonner, in a statement obtained by KSAT, that Gerald had been confronting mental health challenges and had "suicidal tendencies"; his absence raises grave concerns for his safety.
