Stephen Elsinger, 83, of Richmond Road in Petersburg was last seen by his wife, Glenda, at their residence around 2 p.m. on Monday, July 10.

He is described as 5-foot-8 tall and weighing 161 pounds, and was wearing blue jeans, a blue shirt with black suspenders, slip on shoes, and has gray hair. 

When Mr. Elsinger went missing on Monday, he was on his way to his “man cave” – which is beside the residence – for a nap.

Mr. Elsinger does not have a phone and is traveling by foot. 

He suffers from dementia and takes daily heart medication. 

Various emergency services including K9 units and a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter searched and have been searching for Mr. Elsinger since his disappearance, and a missing person’s report was submitted to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
