David Hardy Jr. was 78 and living with Alzheimer’s when he was last seen by a relative on July 8, 2017, in Alexandria, Louisiana, near the 1800 block of Broadway Avenue. He was driving a 2006 silver Ford Mustang with a black bumper cover and was reportedly following his son’s vehicle toward Opelousas when he took a wrong turn and became separated from the family.

Two days later his Mustang was found abandoned in Elizabeth, Louisiana. Investigators noted spoiled groceries in the backseat and family members said Hardy had no known ties to Elizabeth. Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office and Alexandria Police Department investigated, but David Hardy remained missing. His family stresses his vulnerability because of Alzheimer’s and has shared the case widely in hopes of new leads.

Does anyone in the Alexandria–Elizabeth area remember seeing Hardy or that distinctive Mustang around July 8–10, 2017?
