Greenville, North Carolina – Authorities in Greenville are intensifying their search for a local man, who has been reported missing since Tuesday. The Greenville Police Department has issued an appeal to the public for any information that may help locate 52-year-old James Carlson, who was last seen in his neighborhood on the east side of the city.
Carlson, described as having brown hair and blue eyes, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighing around 170 pounds, was reported missing by concerned family members. They stated that it was unlike Carlson to be out of contact for such an extended period without informing someone of his whereabouts.
The last confirmed sighting of Carlson was on security footage from a local convenience store at around 7 p.m. on Tuesday. In the footage, he was seen wearing a blue jacket and grey sweatpants, which are now part of the description provided by police to aid in his identification.
Efforts to find Carlson have included the use of drones and search dogs, focusing primarily on the area surrounding his last known location and extending to nearby wooded areas where he was known to take walks.
Community members have been urged to come forward with any potential leads. The police have set up a confidential tip line and are encouraging people to report any sightings or information that could assist in the investigation.
The urgency of the search is compounded by Carlson’s medical condition; he requires medication which he did not have on him, according to family members. Authorities are concerned for his well-being, emphasizing the critical nature of timely information that could lead to his safe return.
Local volunteer groups have joined the search efforts, distributing flyers and extending the outreach on social media platforms to broaden the search net. The community has shown significant support, with many sharing information and volunteering in the search efforts.
Anyone with information regarding James Carlson’s whereabouts or any related tips is strongly encouraged to contact the Greenville Police Department. Every piece of information, no matter how small, may be crucial in ensuring a safe outcome for Carlson.
The case underscores the importance of community vigilance and swift action in instances of missing persons, particularly when individuals are at risk due to health concerns or other vulnerabilities.
