CAMERON, La. (KPLC) - It’s been over a month, and a Lake Charles man is still missing, despite numerous searches by law enforcement.

Charles McAlister’s family and friends are asking for the community to keep your eyes peeled for any information that might be helpful to investigators.

********

McAlister’s family lives in different states, so his friends are also assisting in the search to find him.

********
“I don’t believe there was a lot of damage done to the vehicle, so it wasn’t like it was in an accident or anything, just kind of went in the ditch and probably got stuck in the mud or something,” Calcasieu Parish Commander of Special Services Matt Vizinot said. “I think there was damage to a nearby stop sign.”

********
McAlister was last seen wearing a white hat, white t-shirt, blue jeans and white New Balance tennis shoes.

McAlister is a white male with gray hair and brown eyes. He’s around 5-foot-10, weighing 155 pounds and is missing his right middle finger. His family said he has a medical condition that may impair his memory or judgement.

Louisiana State Police issued a Silver Alert for McAlister on Aug. 8 because of the medical condition. His family said he also needs medication for his heart condition.

There is a beach clean-up event happening in Cameron this weekend. Law enforcement is asking participants to be on the look out for clothing or other items that might belong to McAlister.

Anyone with information that could help find McAlister is asked to call the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office at 337-491-3795 or dial 911.
