Joseph ’JJ’ Taylor, 79, was last seen June 16, 2019, leaving a friend’s home on Wexler Street in Savannah, Georgia, intending to drive to his daughter’s house on Waldburg Street for a Father’s Day dinner. He spoke with a family member around 10:00 a.m. to confirm plans and again around 8:00 p.m.; during the evening call he sounded as though he was traveling in his truck and said he wanted to go to South Carolina but did not give a destination.

His silver 2016 Toyota Tacoma was later located abandoned along Highway 25 near Millen, Georgia. Reports say the truck was first seen in Millen on June 17 and was found abandoned on June 18. Jenkins County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Savannah Police Department conducted searches in the Millen area and around Savannah but there was no sign of Joseph.

At the time he disappeared he was believed to be wearing a long-sleeved white dress shirt, dress pants and brown shoes; he may have been wearing a hat and glasses. If anyone has information about Joseph’s movements on June 16–18, or saw his Tacoma on Highway 25, please come forward.
