85-year-old Jerry Dooling was last seen driving a black 2021 Honda Pilot with a Georgia tag reading EMH232, according to a post by the sheriff’s office.

He was last seen at the S&P Truckstop on Veterans Day. He may be headed to the Panama City Beach area.

He
is considered a missing endangered person because he’s known to battle dementia.

Wendell Cofer, chief deputy for Decatur County Sheriff’s Office, said he isn’t ruling out any locations between Georgia to Florida where Dooling may have gone.

 

Dooling wasn’t reported missing until five days ago when his family drove down from Indiana and discovered him missing. Investigators said he may have been missing well before Veterans Day. On Nov. 7, Flock camera systems spotted Dooling’s car, a 2021 Black Honda Pilot, in Washington County, Florida.

Investigators say Dooling is likely still in his black 2021 Honda Pilot.

85-year-old Jerry Dooling’s cell phone was pinged 288 times, according to the sheriff’s office. A subsequent search of the cellphone records shows his last location was in Bainbridge at 5 p.m. on Nov. 6.

Dooling’s vehicle was seen on a camera in Chipley, Florida seven hours later. He was last seen driving a black 2021 Honda Pilot with a Georgia tag reading EMH23.

His vehicle does not have a functioning GSP.

Note: After reading more articles, it appears he went missing before Veteran’s Day. I wil report to mods to change title.

The Sheriff's Office has suspended the search for Mr. Jerry Dooling. DCSO Investigators responded to Jackson County, Florida and assisted the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) on a death investigation. We are awaiting conclusive identification of the remains located at the scene, but believe them to be Mr. Dooling. We are saddened by the results of this investigation and Sheriff Griffin along with Investigators sincerely appreciate all the assistance we received trying to return Mr. Dooling to his family.

Aww, that's terrible :( but I guess I would rather this be the outcome than foul play.
