Porter Taylor Albert, 77, of North Fort Myers, Florida, has been missing since January 15, 2020. He was last seen on surveillance footage shopping at a Big Lots on North Cleveland Avenue at about 6:45 p.m., wearing khaki shorts and a two-tone long-sleeved shirt in orange and black. He vanished after that sighting and did not contact friends or family.

His disappearance was reported by a close friend on January 19, 2020, after an unusually long period with no contact. Albert’s unlocked home was found with his belongings and phone left behind. His car turned up a few days later in Cape Coral driven by 18-year-old Tiffany Contestabile, who had been a beneficiary of Albert’s assistance; Contestabile said she had been looking for him and has been identified as a person of interest.

Albert was known for his kindness and for regularly helping people in need, including Contestabile and her mother, whom he had housed in a trailer. Despite searches and investigations, he remains missing under suspicious circumstances. Does anyone who knew Porter or saw him in mid-January 2020 have information that could help locate him?
