Cobb Police said Thursday that an elderly man in East Cobb has gone missing, and they’ve issued a Mattie’s Call.
Officer Aaron Wilson said John Eaton, 87, suffers from dementia and that his vehicle was detected by license plate readers in Lawrenceville and Social Circle.
Wilson said that police were called to an area along Sewell Mill Road around noon Thursday following a missing person report.
He said officers were told that Eaton was last seen leaving his home around 8 a.m. Thursday, and was to meet friends at a nearby McDonald’s.
But he never arrived at his destination, Wilson said, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
Police said that Eaton also has atrial fibrillation and left his medication at home.
Wilson said Eaton was seen wearing a dark-colored sweatshirt and navy blue work pants, and was driving a 2003 Silver Toyota 4Runner with the Georgia tag 499WPR.
He’s described as being 5-foot-7 and around 195 pounds and has brown eyes.
Anyone who has seen Eaton or his vehicle is asked by police to call 911 or the Cobb Police Department at 770-499-3911.
