John French, a 64-year-old male, has been missing from North Miami Beach, Florida since January 2, 2021. He was last seen around 2:30 p.m. at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant on Biscayne Boulevard in Biscayne Park. French was wearing a blue plaid shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers at the time of his disappearance. He is described as being 5'8" tall, weighing about 125 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He also wears eyeglasses. Authorities have classified his disappearance as an endangered missing person, due in part to unspecified health problems that may put him at additional risk.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has included his case in their Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse, highlighting the urgency for public assistance in locating him. His family and law enforcement continue to ask for help, encouraging anyone who may have information to contact the North Miami Beach Police Department at 305-949-5500 or the FDLE's toll-free hotline at 1-888-FL-MISSING (1-888-356-4774).
