A 76-year-old Mead Valley man vanished after wandering away from his residence Wednesday, prompting a region-wide alert in the hope of finding him.
Terrance Barnhill was last seen at 7 a.m. Wednesday in the area of Lee Road and Mack Street, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
His whereabouts were unknown Wednesday afternoon.
Sheriff’s officials requested that the California Highway Patrol issue a “Silver Alert” covering all of the Inland Empire, as well as Orange and Los Angeles counties. Silver Alerts are broadcast when a senior is reported missing.
Barnhill reportedly left the property where he resides on foot, without advising anyone of where he intended to go.
He stands 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds, with brown eyes and no hair, according to authorities. No one was certain of what he may have been wearing.
Anyone with information was urged to call the nearest law enforcement agency.
