Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP102362) and 8 other sources
Robert Francis Ford, a 73-year-old Navy veteran, was last seen on November 29, 2019, at his home in Sanford, Florida. He disappeared sometime between 9 p.m. that evening and the early hours of November 30. Ford, who suffers from PTSD and vision problems (he is blind in one eye), left without notifying anyone and has not been seen or heard from since.

At the time of his disappearance, Ford was wearing dark-colored shorts, a dark T-shirt, and possibly a jacket. His family became alarmed when they discovered he was missing the following morning. Extensive search efforts, including community involvement and volunteer groups like Texas EquuSearch, have yet to yield any results. Ford's case remains unsolved, with few clues regarding his whereabouts.

Ford's family and local authorities continue to appeal for public assistance, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
