Week long search continues for missing Sanford veteran

Sanford, Fla. — Despite it being a week since a 73 year old Sanford man has been missing, his family and members of the community are not giving up.

Police in Sanford say Robert Ford left his home on November 29th on the 300 block of Fern Drive and has not been back since. They say Ford is a Navy veteran who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and is on medication for depression.

While police continue their search, his daughter has put up flyers around the community and has even set up a Facebook page so that volunteers can help look for him.

Ford is 5 feet, 7 inches weighing 160 pounds and was last seen wearing a dark colored shirt and a jacket. Police say he may act confused and might not know his own name. Anyone who knows where he is is asked to contact the Sanford Police Department at 407-688-5070.
