Joe Saxton, 80, walked away from his home on Concord Church Road in the Appleton Community of Allendale, South Carolina, during the predawn hours of March 31, 2016. He was last seen between 5:00 and 5:45 a.m.; a final confirmed sighting placed him at the intersection of Concord Church Road and Revolutionary Trail at about 6:00 a.m., and he has not been seen since.

Mr. Saxton is a Black male with gray hair and brown eyes, about six feet tall and roughly 145 pounds. He had Alzheimer’s disease and was not carrying his needed medication when he disappeared, and no clothing description was available to guide the initial search. The Allendale County Sheriff’s Office classified him as an endangered missing person and opened an investigation.

Very few leads have been reported and the case remains unresolved. If anyone in the area that morning remembers seeing Mr. Saxton or has information that could help, please share what is known with the Allendale County Sheriff’s Office.
