Authorities in Parkland seek public help in locating 69-year-old missing man
Parkland, Florida – The Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) Missing Persons Unit is seeking the public’s assistance in locating 69-year-old William Talmage, who was last seen in Parkland. Authorities are urging residents to be on the lookout for Talmage, who may be in need of help due to his medical condition.
According to detectives, Talmage was last spotted around 3 p.m. on March 7 near the 8000 block of Liberty Way. He is described as being 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing approximately 235 pounds, with grey hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a tan baseball hat, a light blue shirt, and blue jeans.
Family members have expressed concern for Talmage’s well-being, as he suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. His condition may cause him to become disoriented or confused, making it difficult for him to find his way home. Authorities are asking residents in the area to check their properties, security cameras, and be vigilant in case they spot him.
Law enforcement officials are urging anyone with information on Talmage’s whereabouts to come forward. Those who believe they have seen him or have any relevant details are encouraged to contact BSO Detective Chris Blankenship at 954-321-4268. Alternatively, individuals can reach out through the BSO non-emergency line at 954-764-HELP (4357).
Time is critical in cases involving individuals with Alzheimer’s, and officials hope that community awareness and cooperation will help bring Talmage home safely.
