Louis Edward Pauratore, age 84, left his Covington, Louisiana home on the morning of January 29, 2021, for a doctor’s appointment and never arrived. Later that day he spoke with his daughter by cell phone and said he was lost; he identified his location as a gas station in Mobile, Alabama. Deputies were alerted but when they reached that gas station he and his blue/gray 2012 Chevrolet Silverado (Louisiana plate B952065) were gone.

After that last confirmed contact, the phone reportedly pinged in the Pine Mountain, Georgia area after midnight on January 30, 2021, and there was an unconfirmed possible sighting at a gas station in Moss Point, Mississippi on the afternoon of January 30. At the time he was described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 4 inches, 180–200 pounds, with graying black hair and brown eyes, and appearing confused. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation.

Does anyone in the Mobile, Moss Point or Pine Mountain areas remember seeing a blue/gray Silverado with that Louisiana plate or an elderly man matching his description around January 29–30, 2021?
