COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Callaway County Sheriff’s Office issued an Endangered Silver Advisory on Thursday for a missing Steedman man.

The advisory says Richard Thomas Lenkiewicz -- 73 years old, 6-feet tall, 235 pounds – has been missing since 8:30 a.m. Thursday when he left the 9100 block of Beave Butte Court in Steedman.

The release says Lenkiewicz suffers from dementia and is driving a white 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with Missouri registration 89H5BL. According to the advisory, the vehicle was last seen in Jefferson County, heading southbound from Jeffco Boulevard and Starling Airport Road.

The report says Lenkiewicz typically is driven by another person when he needs to go somewhere, but drove from his home by himself and his destination is not known, though he may be heading to a casino.

He has brown-and-gray hair and brown eyes. The report says it is not known what clothes he could be wearing, but he is “known to typically be dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans.”
