Melvyn Walter Butzlaff, 87, was reported as an endangered missing person after last being seen leaving Ormond Beach, Florida, in late August 2014. He is described as a White male about 5 feet 6 inches and 140 pounds, balding with graying brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing prescription eyeglasses. He had dementia, which investigators say increases his vulnerability to confusion and disorientation.

Family reported that Melvyn was living with his son, Robert Butzlaff, at the time. His son says Melvyn left with a caregiver identified only as Beverly A, described as a White woman in her seventies who drove a white Lincoln; the pair were believed to have headed toward Greenville, South Carolina. Melvyn’s cell phone was later found turned off, authorities were unable to locate either Melvyn or the caregiver in Greenville, and his daughter last had contact with him earlier in 2014.

A later federal filing noted a Social Security beneficiary identified as M.B. was reported missing in October 2014 and has never been located; the filing also described fraudulently redirected benefits but did not explain Melvyn’s whereabouts. If anyone saw Melvyn after August 2014 or knows anything about the woman called Beverly A, please come forward with information.
