California Elderly Man Goes Missing in Mexico, Reward Offered for His Location
One California elderly man has been reported to be missing in Mexico. He was identified as William "Dean" Trivett, 80, and was last seen on February 11.
He was in the town of Todos, Santos in Baja California. He was last seen driving his Chevy Silverado with a camper, according to a missing person poster being distributed by friends.
San Francisco Gate reported that his friend, Barnett English, raised the alarm when Trivett's dog, Bones, was found roaming around with his owner.
Trivett was living in Markleeville at the time of his disappearance and had also previously lived in San Diego, with several connections to the area.
English noted that Trivett would never "leave his dog behind," adding that the California elderly man's phone goes straight to voicemail.
The friend noted that for Trivett to be separated from his dog is "very, very concerning." English described his friend as a seasoned Baja traveler.
