Authorities from Cowley County, Sumner County, Grant County Oklahoma and the Kansas Highway Patrol are searching for 87-year-old Jack Lee Howe of Winfield.

Howe was last seen around noon on Friday, leaving in his vehicle. He was reported missing yesterday and that's when authorities began looking for him.

This morning his 1999 dark blue Ford Ranger pickup was found south of the town of Caldwell, about 1/4 mile across the state line into Grant County, OK. Now the authorities, along with help from the Wichita Police helicopter, are searching the surrounding area for any sign of him.

Howe is described as a white male, about 5'8" and 100 lbs. with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a red flannel shirt and blue jeans. He does suffer from certain medical conditions including what appears to be the beginning effects of dementia.

Authorities have released a photograph of Howe as well as one of his vehicle.
