In the early morning hours of September 18, 2016, 71-year-old Edward Carr was last seen in Hammond, Louisiana. Reports indicate he was near the intersection of Natchez and Palmetto streets around 5:00 a.m. At the time of his disappearance, Mr. Carr, who suffers from dementia, was wearing a red shirt, green camouflage shorts, and brown shoes. He is described as a Black male with graying black hair, brown eyes, and a short, graying beard and mustache. He also has scars on his back and hip. Mr. Carr stood at 5 feet 10 inches and weighed between 180 and 200 pounds. Following his disappearance, the Hammond Police Department initiated a search for Mr. Carr. His daughter actively participated in the efforts, distributing flyers with his photograph at Southeastern Louisiana University. The search involved significant community and official resources. About a week after he went missing, the police department, with the assistance of four volunteer canine crews from the Louisiana Search and Rescue team, conducted a five-hour search for him. Although there were reported sightings of Mr. Carr, these leads did not result in him being found by law enforcement. The investigation into Edward Carr's whereabouts has been ongoing since 2016, but few details about the case have been made public. His case is classified as an endangered missing person due to his dementia diagnosis. The Hammond Police Department has urged anyone with information to contact them at 985-277-5700. Despite the passage of time, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and he has not been heard from since the day he vanished, leaving his family and community with unanswered questions.
