Francis Xavier McKenna, 72, was last seen October 12, 2011, in Citra, Florida after traveling from Taylorsville, North Carolina, toward his winter residence in Sarasota. He checked into the Orange Blossom Motel in Citra on October 11 and checked out the next morning appearing confused and disoriented. That motel checkout is the last confirmed sighting.

Two days later, on October 14, McKenna’s white 1998 Ford Econoline E150 van was found abandoned on the northbound side of Interstate 75 at the County Road 484 exit in Marion County. The van was running and contained his belongings, though it was facing the opposite direction of his intended travel. His credit cards have not been used since his disappearance. His brother reported him missing on November 9, 2011, and both Florida and North Carolina law enforcement continue to investigate.

If anyone saw McKenna, his van, or the Orange Blossom Motel area around October 11–14, 2011, please share what you remember.
