$5,000 reward offered in case of missing 71-year-old Milwaukee man

March 29, 2021
Last summer, a 71-year-old Milwaukee man with dementia left his apartment and never returned -- missing without a trace.

Johnny Patterson's family has doubled their reward — upping it to $5,000 for information that will bring him home.

Milwaukee police on Monday, March 29 released surveillance video to FOX6 News that shows the last time Patterson was seen -- in hopes it will jog someone's memory.


On June 9th, 2020, Patterson left his College Court apartment near 35th Street and Highland Boulevard.

Surveillance video captured the last time he was seen. He was wearing a hat, blue jeans, dark glasses, a tribal necklace, and carrying a walking stick.

"He left his residence by himself. He ended up walking West on Highland Boulevard," said Officer Keyona Vines, with MPD's Sensitive Crimes Division. Vines said they've pursued all leads.

"We've looked through many vacant houses, vacant cars in an attempt to locate him."

Patterson, who has dementia, still hasn't been found.

"We believe he may have had an episode when he went missing and may have gotten lost," Vines said. "They do tend to hide."

Vines is now urging the public to look in your garages, sheds, and other parts of your property that aren't frequently checked.
