The Kansas City Police Department asked the public for help Monday to find Jesse Wilson, a 74-year-old man who is reported missing and endangered.

Wilson, who has Alzheimer’s disease, was last seen driving a 2010 silver Toyota Matrix with a black hood and Oklahoma registration. The license plate number is unknown.

Police said Wilson recently relocated to the Kansas City area from Oklahoma to be treated, against his wishes, for Alzheimer’s. They think he might be trying to return to the Tulsa area.

He was last seen at noon on Friday, July 2, at 4885 Eastwood Trafficway.

Police described Wilson as being Black, 6 feet tall, weighing 129 pounds with gray hair and brown eyes. He was wearing blue jeans and black shoes and wears gold-rimmed prescription glasses.

If you see him or know anything about his whereabouts, police ask that you call 911, the nearest law enforcement agency or the Kansas City police department at 816-234-5136.
