Original story:
Wichita police are asking anyone who’s seen an 88-year-old Wichita man missing for two days to call 911 immediately.
Pearl Williams was last seen at around 4 p.m. Sunday leaving his home in the 1700 block of North Spruce and has not returned since. He drove off in a blue 1998 Ford F150 with Kansas tag 959 GFB, the Wichita Police Department said in an email Tuesday. His family told authorities disappearing isn’t normal behavior for Williams. His 66-year-old son reported him missing on Tuesday afternoon.
Police in the email included a photo of Williams and a photo of a blue truck that’s similar to the one Williams was driving. A Silver Alert was issued for him shortly before 3:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Police ask that anyone with information on his whereabouts call authorities.
