A family member told police it appears James Pearson hasn’t been home since Saturday and they’re concerned for his safety, as he suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

Police said Pearson does not drive and he is known to walk around Whitby.

According to police, Pearson may have been spotted at the McDonalds in Whitby near Brock Street and Highway 401, and that he could have boarded a GO train and travelled to Toronto.
He is described as male, white, with grey hair and five-foot-five-inches tall and approximately 110 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black Giants toque, a heavy, navy blue, down-filled coat that goes to his knees. He was possibly wearing track pants and running shoes.

In a series of tweets, the granddaughter said Pearson, also known as “Jim,” has not been diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s but suffers from “very extreme loss of memory.”

“He was last known to be in the Whitby area but he is known to take the GO Train often,” a tweet by Bri Pearson reads. “He tends to go to McDonald’s a lot since it is something he can remember.”

She also tweeted that Pearson often visits the Harvey’s on Consumers Drive, the Whitby Library on Dundas Street, a Scotiabank location on Highway 2, Union Station’s York Concourse and the Eaton Centre.
Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins said GO Transit officers are “keeping an eye out” for Pearson.

“We have not given up, all staff are looking for Jim,” Aikins wrote in a tweet this afternoon. “His photo has been circulated broadly. We are especially concentrating on Whitby Station, LSE and York Concourse. Let’s bring Jim home.”

Police say they’re concerned Pearson is lost and “having trouble making his way back home.”

They describe him as a white male with grey hair, approximately five-foot-five and 110 pounds. He was last seen wearing a red, white and blue “New York Giants’ toque, running shoes and a heavy navy blue, down-filled coat that sits at his knees. It’s also possible he was wearing tinted glasses and track pants when he was last seen.

A set of new photos of Pearson was released Thursday in hopes of triggering new information about his whereabouts.

One of Pearson’s granddaughters has made numerous pleas for help finding him on Twitter.
“I don’t even think I can sleep tonight. I keep checking my phone hoping that someone has seen him,”
