Ronald James Colwort, 84, went missing from the Leslie Lake Retirement Center in Arcadia, Louisiana after leaving the facility on foot about 4:30 p.m. on a Saturday in September. At the time he was last seen he was wearing a blue plaid button-up shirt and blue jeans. Colwort is described as between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, 110 to 120 pounds, with gray balding hair and blue eyes.

Sightings placed him at the Super Save on Gap Farm Road and later walking along Highway 80 toward Hazel Street; the trail ended there. Colwort suffered from dementia and memory loss, which increases his vulnerability. Staff searched the immediate area before the Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Office coordinated searches of downtown Arcadia and stretches along I-20 and U.S. 80, but no sign of him has emerged.

If anyone saw Ronald around Gap Farm Road, Highway 80, Hazel Street or along I-20 in September, please share what was seen or contact the Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Office with any information.
