Missing Man Francis L. Wooten May be Living in Car (New Orleans)
82-year-old Francis L. Wooten has been missing since November 23, 2005. Francis L. Wooten is a former New Orleans resident who had been staying with his daughter following Hurricane Katrina. He may be living in his vehicle somewhere in Orleans or Jefferson Parish.
A former resident of New Orleans, Wooten had been staying with his daughter at her home in Arrow Wood Estates near Abita Springs since not long after the storm.
Detective Dale Galloway of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office said when Hurricane Katrina was approaching Wooten packed some of his belongings into his vehicle and headed toward Florida. Somehow in the process, Galloway said, Wooten ended up living in his vehicle in a parking lot in Mobile, Ala.
Detectives believe he may be doing the same thing again. Wooten left the home on Cherokee Drive at 1 p.m. Nov. 23 in his 2003 gold-colored, four-door Kia Rio and never returned. The car bears the license plate KJY315.
Description:
Wooten was last seen wearing khaki pants, a blue button-up shirt and black-colored slippers. He is a white male, with gray hair with strawberry blond streaks.
