Kenneth Wayne Jimson, 60, was last seen December 1, 2017, in Shelby, North Carolina, after a minor outpatient procedure at Atrium Health Shelby. A cab had been arranged to pick him up after discharge but he never reached the waiting vehicle. The last confirmed sighting placed him near Care Solutions on East Grover Street, apparently walking toward the nearby Bojangles.

Family reported Kenneth had a cognitive impairment and a history of wandering; on a prior occasion he was found heading toward Gaffney, South Carolina. A few months after his disappearance witnesses in the southern part of the county reported seeing a man matching his description, but officers were unable to locate him. Kenneth is described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 200 pounds, with short black and gray hair, brown eyes, a dent on his lower forehead above the nose from prior surgery, a scar above his right kneecap, and a scar on his left hip. He was last seen wearing black jeans and a black jacket. The Shelby Police Department asks anyone with information to contact them.

Did anyone in the Shelby or Gaffney areas see Kenneth around December 2017 or in the months that followed?
