HAVE YOU SEEN ME? Elderly man missing in Jenkins County
 
I hope they find Joseph quickly. An abandoned vehicle is never a good sign.

Millen, Georgia, is quite a distance from where he lived in Savannah, Georgia:

The article linked in Post #1 mentioned that the vehicle was found on Highway 25, near Millen. Since they didn't give an exact location, I just used the town of Millen, which is on Highway 25. Unless Joseph knew someone who lived in that area, Millen was a long way from home.

Does he have any family? I wonder if he has dementia or any other medical issues? Or perhaps something medical came up unexpectedly and he became disoriented?

I hope he's found soon. Poor man, that is a bit of a distance from his home. An hour and a half away!

2 years later, police continue to search for elderly man reported missing in Savannah



It's been nearly two full years since anyone has reported seeing an elderly Savannah man.


Joseph Taylor, then 79, disappeared June 19, 2019 in Savannah. His silver truck was found over an hour away in Millen, with the doors locked and the windows slightly opened.

“He said he was coming over as soon as he gets in this area. I said, 'OK, Dad, I’m going to cook dinner for you for Father’s Day.' And I did, but he never showed up. I was worried about him,” his daughter Lillian Taylor previously told WJCL.

Authorities say he was last seen wearing a long sleeve white shirt, dress pants and brown shoes.

Savannah Police and the GBI investigated the case but Taylor has yet to be found.

If you have any information or may have seen Taylor after he disappeared, call SPD at 912-651-6742.
