Mario Bertoni, 59, was last seen leaving his home on Pine Lake Drive in St. Cloud, Florida, on February 3, 2024. That day he traveled to Kissimmee and reportedly met an unknown person at the Wawa on Orange Blossom Trail and Donegan Avenue; there has been no contact from him since.

Nine days later his vehicle was found burned beyond recognition in a wooded area of Marion County; investigators determined the fire was arson. Authorities have not released the precise location where the car was recovered. He is described as a white male, brown hair, brown eyes, 6 feet 1 inch, about 210 pounds.

The St. Cloud Police Department is investigating and has asked the public for help. If anyone saw Mario on February 3, remembers the Wawa meeting, or has information about the burned vehicle, please come forward.
