Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36959) and 8 other sources
Wallace "Buster" Gerrald, an 85-year-old man, was last seen in Palatka, Florida, on October 20, 2015. He had traveled from his home in Galivants Ferry, South Carolina, to Florida to handle some legal matters and was expected to return the same day, but he never did. He was driving a white 2013 Ford F-150 pickup truck with South Carolina license plates, which became a key detail in his missing person's case.

For over three years, there were no major leads until January 2019, when his truck was discovered in a remote, wooded area in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The vehicle appeared to have been abandoned after getting stuck, but no other traces of Gerrald were found. Despite extensive searches in the area, no clues about his fate have surfaced, leaving the case unsolved. Authorities continue to seek information that might help close this cold case.
