CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Authorities are continuing to try to locate an elderly Sonoma man who was last seen on Thursday and whose pickup was found in Clearlake on Monday morning.
Robert Fuentes, 78, left his Sonoma home on Thursday and failed to return, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office and Sonoma Police Department.
Authorities said he left his cellphone at home and it was assumed that he was traveling to the downtown area of Sonoma. After he didn’t return, he was reported missing on Friday.
Fuentes has medical issues that require medication and treatment. He was last seen wearing black pants and a gold button-up golf shirt.
Authorities said he was driving a white Nissan Frontier with a California license plate of 6T77152, and a Sonoma High School Dragons sticker in the rear window.
On Monday, the Clearlake Police Department found the pickup, but not Fuentes, said Sgt. Jeff Toney of the Sonoma Police Department.
Detectives with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office Violent Crimes Unit are currently investigating this case, which is normal protocol, Toney said.
Anyone who sees Fuentes is asked to immediately call the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office at 707-565-2121 or the local police or sheriff’s office.
