Johnie F. Jones Sr., 79, was last seen at his apartment in the 12500 block of Sparkling Lake Drive in the Spanish Lake area of north St. Louis County on October 24, 2022. He is a Black male, about 6 feet tall and 225 to 227 pounds, with black or black-and-gray hair and brown eyes. Authorities classified him as an endangered missing person because he had serious medical needs, including COPD, required medication, constant oxygen, and used a wheelchair or walker.

Concern increased when Mr. Jones missed a scheduled doctor’s appointment on October 31, 2022, a marker that suggested something beyond an ordinary absence. Police issued a Missing Endangered Silver Advisory and asked the public to contact the St. Louis County Police Department at 636-529-8210 or call 911. No clothing description or public explanation for his disappearance has been released, and the circumstances after October 24 remain unclear.

If anyone knew Johnie Jones, saw him around Sparkling Lake Drive, or has information that could help locate him, please contact the St. Louis County Police Department.
