A 55-year-old Wauwatosa man who relies on the bus to get around has not been seen since he visited a West Milwaukee plasma donation center, and police are now asking the public for help finding him. Alfred E. Nester was reported missing after he failed to return home as expected that afternoon.
West Milwaukee police are asking for the public's assistance in locating Nester, who was reported missing on Oct. 31, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He was reported missing by his fiancée, the paper reports. Nester was last seen at Octapharma Plasma, 1728 Miler Park Way in West Milwaukee, on Oct. 30, and he was due back home by 3:30 p.m. that day but never returned.
Health Issues Complicate the Search
Police said Nester is physically disabled with spine and back issues stemming from a 2025 vehicle crash, according to the same report. He does not own a car and typically uses the bus to get around the area, a detail investigators are likely weighing heavily given his medical condition and limited mobility options.
Authorities describe Nester as a White man standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing 269 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue and black flannel shirt, blue jeans, and blue and white shoes, details that could help anyone who may have spotted him in the days since his disappearance.
How to Help
West Milwaukee police are urging anyone who has had contact with Nester or who knows his whereabouts to call the department directly at 414-645-2151. As of the latest reporting, it remains unclear whether Nester has been located, and no additional updates on his status have been released.
Separately, WISN also reported on Nester's disappearance following his visit to the plasma center. For now, investigators and Nester's family are relying on tips from the public as they try to piece together where he went after leaving West Milwaukee that Friday afternoon.
