HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) is continuing the search today for David Lamar Brown, who has been missing since Tuesday.
On Sunday, a special volunteer area was expected to be at the Community Bible Church, 5041 Griffin Road, Brooksville. The HCSO volunteer coordinator planned to provide maps of the area and offer suggestions of areas to search at about 7:30 a.m.
Anyone who planned to assist in the search for Brown was advised to stay on public right-of-ways while conducting their search.
The HCSO and multiple partnering agencies have been searching for Brown, who was last seen late Tuesday morning near Batten Road (between Deerfly Road and Family Lane).
Brown is a white male and about 70 years old. He has grey hair and a grey goatee with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a white shirt with horizontal blue stripes (ripped on the back) and blue shorts.
He had no shoes and possibly one sock. He was originally wearing shoes, but surveillance footage showed him wearing no shoes and just one sock.
Brown suffers from significant medical issues.
Anyone who spots anything suspicious is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 352-754-6830.
A state report says hundreds of frail elderly nursing home residents were stacked side by side, head to toe in a small church with no working air conditioning or refrigerator during Hurricane Helene.
