Louis Edward Pauratore, 84, left his home in Covington, Louisiana, on a January morning in 2021 to keep a doctor’s appointment but never arrived. He departed in a blue 2012 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and was later reached by phone that same day. He told his daughter he was lost and disoriented and had identified his location as a gas station in Mobile, Alabama. A 911 call was placed afterward, but deputies arriving at the station found he had already left.

In the early hours of the following day his cellphone pinged near Pine Mountain, Georgia, and there was an unconfirmed sighting at a gas station in Moss Point, Mississippi that afternoon. St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office investigators describe him as a white male, 5 feet 4 inches tall, 180 to 200 pounds, graying black hair and brown eyes, and appearing confused when last seen.

If anyone saw Louis, his blue 2012 Chevrolet Silverado, or has information about his movements on that January day, please share what is known with the investigators.
