Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP10895) and 10 other sources
Russell Sterling Wilson, a 61-year-old man from San Diego, California, was last seen on January 13, 2006. On the day of his disappearance, Wilson, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, walked away while his wife was at a laundromat. He never returned, and extensive searches in the area yielded no results. At the time he went missing, Wilson was wearing a blue shirt, beige jacket, jeans, black socks, and black shoes. He was known to have a tattoo on his left arm and was balding with a mustache.

Wilson's case remains open, with few details available regarding his disappearance. Given his medical condition, there were concerns about his safety, and authorities continue to seek any information that may help locate him. His family and investigators have appealed to the public for help, but his case has remained unsolved for many years.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the San Diego Police Department.
