The search for John Peters, 91, of Sodom-Hutchings Road, has entered its fourth day.
The Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office had no updates on Peters’ whereabouts Saturday. The office, however, has been able to determine where he was last seen.
“We did track his whereabouts as best we could through his credit cards. As last we could tell, he was in Orwell at a Shell station where he fueled his vehicle up with the assistance of an employee there,” Sheriff Paul Monroe told 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner.
Monroe told the television station that Peters also made a credit-card purchase at the Sparkle Market in Cortland.
Authorities say Peters suffers from dementia, and his family is worried for his welfare.
Peters is a white male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighs 155 pounds.
He was last seen wearing green Dickies clothing.
He is driving a 2006 Dodge Caravan with Ohio license plate number JP6040. His description and that of his vehicle have been posted on electronic sign boards along the Ohio turnpike.
Anyone seeing Peters or his vehicle is asked to call 911 or the sheriff’s office, 330-675-2508.
