Ernest Newell Ellison, 72, disappeared from his Hernando, Florida apartment in Ventura Village on January 5, 1994. He was last seen by his ex-wife and appeared ill, possibly with the flu; he left behind his hypertension medication and was reported missing on January 10 after family grew concerned.

Ellison was a white male, 6 feet tall, about 225 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was active in VFW Post 4252 in Hernando. His white 1982 Lincoln Town Car, Florida plate GUU-70X, was also missing. There were no signs of a struggle at his home, and despite investigations neither Ellison nor the vehicle have been located.

Anyone who knew Ernest, saw that Lincoln around early January 1994, or has information that might help the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office is asked to come forward.
